Lyrics

Where
Did this even begin
Well I was a man before
I knew what it meant
And I was surrounded
By bad advice
By bad advice
Oh valley of the wind I
Know my sin
Had some kind of headstart
But I wasn't ready
And now like the black sea
I'll fall prey to a war I
Had no part in starting
Like a deepness
As it darkens honey
But love isn't hard, it's
All that we are, it's
A beautiful storm
Feeling each other
Finding love in another's
Warmth
Yeah love is the start of it
The very heart of it
Performed
How
Was I
Supposed to know
The depth of the meaning
Felt so misleading
(I didn't know where to go)
How
Was I
Supposed to know
How
Was I
Supposed to know
I was a man before
I was a man before
I knew what it meant
I was a man before
I was a man before
I knew what it meant
