Eraser (Extended F64 Version) – Ed Sheeran – letras

I was born inside a small townI’ve 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 uponThey kept me on the grindSo blame it on the pain that blessed me with the lifeFriends and family filled with envyWhen they should be filled with prideAnd when the world’s against meIs when I really come aliveAnd every day that Satan tempts meI try to take it in my strideYou know that I’ve got whiskyWith white lines and smoke in my lungsI think life has got to the pointI 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 becomeI guess 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 industryThey showed me the locked doorsI find another use of keyAnd you’ll seeI’m well aware of certain thingsThat will destroy a man like meBut with that said give me one more, higherAnother one to take the sting awayI am happy on my own, so here I’ll staySave your lovin’ arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserI used to think that nothing could be betterThan touring the world with my songsI chased the picture perfect lifeI think they painted it wrongI think that money is the root of evil and fame is hellRelationships and hearts you fixed, they break as wellAnd ain’t nobody wanna see you down in the dumpsBecause you’re living your dreamMan, this shit should be funPlease know that I’m not trying to preachLike I’m Reverend RunI beg you, don’t be disappointedWith the man I’ve becomeOur conversations with my father on the A14Age twelve telling me I’ve gotta chase those dreamsNow I’m playing for the people, Dad, and they know meWith my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeansWembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thouI may have grown up but I hope that Damien’s proudAnd to the next generation, inspiration’s allowedThe world may be filled with hateBut keep erasing it nowSomehowI’m well aware of certain thingsThat will befall a man like meBut with that said give me one more, higherAnother one to take the sting awayI am happy on my own, so here I’ll staySave your lovin’ arms for a rainy dayAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserAnd I’ll find comfort in my painEraserI woke up this morning lookin’ in the mirrorThinkin’ to myself that I should probably be thinnerThe industry told me to look like themBut I found my happiness in fried food for my dinnerI wish that she could have been my first timeAnd I wish that I’d never took that first lineAnd I wish that every word in this verse rhymedBut forgive me if it doesn’tI wish that I could make peace with my older cousinI wish he didn’t think that it was me when it wasn’tI wish I didn’t love it when I’m highAnd my face feels buzzin’And the taste stays underneath my tongue, andWish that I had known what to do as a younglingWish I hadn’t dropped out of schoolAnd missed every single partyWith that hardly matters now, man, does it?Wish I had an answer to everything, but fuck itI wish creatin’ art didn’t come with a budgetBut while we’re on the subjectI wish my private life would have never gone publicBut that’s the sacrifice that we makeSpendin’ my whole time high livin’ life awayI’m singin’ this is how we’re livin’ down hereSittin’ on the edge, lookin’ out without fearYeah, we got drama but you know we don’t careI wanna see you sing itPut your hands in the air, one wishI’m singin’ this is how we’re livin’ down hereSittin’ on the edge, lookin’ out without fearYeah, we got drama but you know we don’t careI wanna see you sing itPut your hands in the air, one wishI wish my family and friends, they stay healthyI wish that love was a currencyAnd the whole world was wealthyI found myself late night wishin’ on a starEveryday I wish I’d never broken a heart, uhAnd I wish I’d never run throughEvery woman that I loved that kept my lifeAnd what it’s come toI wish I was the role model you looked up toIf I told my fans the things I did they’d say, « Fuck you »I wish I was home moreI wish my team could see their kids on their birthdaysBut yo, we’re on tourAnd I wish I’d grow more, wish I told morePeople that I love ’em butIt’s in the music that I’m known forAnd I wish he never got cancerAnd if I smoke a pack a dayWell, does that make me a wanker?Oh yes, I guess it does, and we’re still stressing ’causeEvery day this shit gets the best of usUsin’ my balance on razor bladesSpendin’ my whole time high wishing life would waitI’m singin’ this is how we’re livin’ down hereSittin’ on the edge, lookin’ out without fearYeah, we got drama but you know we don’t careI wanna see you sing itPut your hands in the air, one wishI’m singin’ this is how we’re livin’ down hereSittin’ on the edge, lookin’ out without fearYeah, we got drama but you know we don’t careI wanna see you sing itPut your hands in the air, one wishI’m using jumpers for goalposts, cigarettes for throat coldMum sayin’, « Don’t smoke,  » no, I don’t listenI got love for a ghost noteShows on the gold coastPeople that I don’t know share the same visionI find truth in the hard timesAnd words that aren’t mineTryin’ to find a love with a compatible star signSometimes I can’t write, sentences can’t rhymeStarin’ at my notepad quickI’m tryin’ to find mineShit quick before I hit it againSurrounded in the industry by all these ignorant menAnd who knew that I’d be paid just to pick up a penJust let me hit the studio when we can rip it againI’m a competitive dick with an adrenaline kickMy daddy told me »Work hard and you can never be shit »I’ve seen all my heroes dethroned except my dadSet back here reminiscing ’bout the times we hadOne wish
