Fontaines D.C. - Before You I Just Forget

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

By these means, I'm responding, but have no parts left to sell
Have only scenes of a life that have been sold just as well
Fall victim to faces with all the tales of escaping
No more fails in the tank, just have these steps for the taking

Hating that it would rain beyond belief
For the casual watcher at the edge of their seat
And I used to think that I could take all I could get
But I must admit now that before you, I just forget

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that, yeah

And the spoils go to the brave boys (boys)
You only count the birds that make a loud noise (noise)
I imagine that you could've, could've cut a cold figure
Like what I dream, but I forget to take a picture

Why'd you got the laugh coming straight out the gallows?
No weird fishes out hiding in the shallows
All that showmanship is expired
Now, we know the heart we used to share is beating tired

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine 'cause people like that
Pretending I'm fine 'cause people like that
People like that, people like that
Decapitate the shine because the people like that

Decapitate the shine
