Ed Sheeran - Eraser Lyrics
I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mindLearned to sing inside the lord’s houseBut stopped at the age of nineI forget when I get awards now, the wave I had to rideThe paving stones I played upon, that kept me on the grindSo blame it on the pain that blessed me with the lifeFriends and family filled with envy, when they should be filled with prideAnd when the world’s against me, is when I really come aliveAnd every day that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my strideYou know that I’ve got whisky with white lies, and smoke in my lungsI think life has got to the point, I know without it’s no funI need to get in the right mind and clear myself upInstead I look in the mirror, questioning what I’ve becomeGuess it’s a stereotypical day, for someone like meWithout a nine to five job or a uni degreeTo be caught up in the trappings of the industryShow me the locked doors I’ll find another use for the key, and you’ll seeI’m well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like meBut with that said give me one moreI am another one to take the sting awayI am happy on my own so here I’ll staySave your loving arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserI used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songsI chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrongI think that money is the route of all evil, and fame is hellRelationships and hearts you fix, they break as wellAnd ain’t nobody want to see you down in the dumpsBecause you’re living your dream and this should be funPlease know that I’m not trying to preach like I’m reverend runI beg you don’t be disappointed with the man I’ve becomeConversations with my father on the A14Age 12, telling me I’ve gotta chase those dreamsNow I’m playing for the people dad and they know meWith my beaten small guitar, wearing the same old jeansWembley stadium crowds, two hundred and forty thouI may have grown up but I hope that Damian’s proudAnd to the next generation, inspiration’s allowedThe world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehowI’m well aware of certain things that will befall a man like meBut with that said give me one moreI am, another one to take the sting awayOh I am happy on my own so here I’ll stayWell save your loving arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserWelcome to the new showI guess you know I’ve been awayWhere I'm heading who knowsMy heart will stay the sameWelcome to the new showI guess you know I’ve been awayWhere I'm heading who knowsMy pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my pain eraser
