Lyrics What We Once Were - The Sweeplings

What We Once Were

There’s no way out, our backs against the wall
From somewhere down deep, overtaken like a storm
We can’t take back the words we spoke
The promises we’ve released
Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were
Change is sure to come, now that everything’s gone wrong
A plea for how it was, before we were overcome
We can’t pull back what’s overboard
Sink into the black beneath
Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were (2x)
All these walls are closing in
Borrowed time has found an end
Every piece falls to the wind, to the wind
Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were (3x)
