lyrics

Sometimes the Bull Wins

My father always told me, things won’t come so easily
Even though they come to me, just fine
He always asked me gently what struggle even meant to me
Cause it’s gonna come for me, in time (he said)

There’s always gonna be a thing of two that’s hard to learn
Just when you’re standing on a sinking ship or bridge to burn
There’s gonna be a side you’ll find you wished you didn’t choose
There’s gonna be a time you pick a fight you’ll hope to lose
And sometimes… you’ll just give in
And sometimes, the bull wins

And as the years just charge on by, I’m still trying to figure out the why
Of me being there, right place right time, for I’m known
Cause I’m my own worst enemy, perfection is a killing spree
Can’t say those horns ain’t come for me, I’ve been thrown (because)

There’s always gonna be a thing of two that’s hard to learn
Just when you’re standing on a sinking ship or bridge to burn
There’s gonna be a side you’ll find you wished you didn’t choose
There’s gonna be a time you pick a fight you’ll hope to lose
And sometimes… you’ll just give in
And sometimes… you’ll just give in
And sometimes…. sometimes… the bull wins

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
