Birdeatsbaby – In Spite Of You lyrics

I remember them telling me
Something bad’s gonna happen
We are alone in everything
Especially in dying

I’ve got a mark where your picture was
You spun me out of the photograph
And asked me how I bend the light
I just see the negatives

It’s taken me so long to see
You never saw the best in me
Now you’re gonna see me as I am

In spite of you, in spite of you
Losing sleep each time I wake
You’ve left me nothing left to hate but you

In spite of you
Lock my love inside a cage
And now I’m happy in this state for you

See I remember the difference
Between the doubt and significance
I wasn’t born I just stumbled in
Now I don’t believe in anything

You set me up like a failure
Before I’d even begun
So I’d rather keep my addictions
Than be a slave to anyone

The prying eyes that never sleep
Will watch you while you pray for me
Now you’re gonna see what you have done

In spite of you, in spite of you
Losing sleep each time I wake
You’ve left me nothing left to hate but you

In spite of you
Lock my love inside a cage
And now I’m happy in this state for you

And if I ever do succeed
I hope that you will think of me
And know that I have only just begun

In spite of you, in spite of you
Losing sleep each time I wake
You’ve left me nothing left to hate but you

In spite of you
Lock my love inside a cage
And now I’m happy in this state for you
