You (feat. Travis Barker)

James Arthur

5

(Fighting, living, dying)

(For what?)

(For freedom)(That′s what which men have fought since time began)

(To be free)

They be making blanket statements, scaring everyone

They be making you feel like you never did belong

Yeah he said that she said, yeah, they say a lot

So many things they just think you forgot

Who you are and what you do and where you coming from

I just thought I could remind you with this simple song

No bad body language can start to rebuff

To we're choosing weapons and hatred, no love

Not you

You are in the wilderness

Looking for your own purpose

And you became a butterfly, a butterfly

I knew you always would

′Cause they were throwing sticks and stones

But words can never break your bones

You just spread your

Wings and fly, wings and fly

I knew you always would

I knew you always would

I knew there always was

Nothing wrong with being you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

All you ever see, don't see it in our enemies

Telling you to lose your individuality

Look, do this and do that

'Til you′ve lost your way

′Til you need a vice or a means of escape

They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself

Blow smoke into your mirror 'til you′re mentally unwell

So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit

They can′t take your soul or desire for freedom

You

You are in the wilderness

Looking for your own purpose

And you became a butterfly, a butterfly

I knew you always would

'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones

But words will never break your bones

You just spread your

Wings and fly, wings and fly

I knew you always would

I knew you always would

I knew there always was nothing wrong with being you

Who said

I wanna be, I′m gonna be

Everything they said I couldn't be

Everything that I said I would be

When I picked up a pen and I started to speak

I hear the beat, my melody

I just pour all my of heart in these sheets

I could not just be a star in the street

Man, I knew what was different, I had a belief

Nowhere to live, nothing to eat

You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep

You couldn′t breathe, I couldn′t be

All of the shit was happening to me

I would do drugs, I was a thief

Still on the run from the karma police

You were the mission that's given to me, by the powers to be

Man is double G ′n' D

You are in the wilderness

Looking for your own purpose

And you became a butterfly, a butterfly

I knew you always was

You are in the wilderness

Looking for your own purpose

And you became a butterfly, a butterfly

I knew you always would

′Cause they were throwing sticks and stones

Words can never break your bones

You just spread your wings and fly, wings and fly

I knew you always would

I knew you always would

Yeah, I knew you always would (I knew)

I know there always was nothing wrong with being

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
