K'naan - Bulletproof Pride Lyrics

Ive been running out of
My 70 excuses
There comes a point when patience
Cant take all these abuses
Now my reserves are empty
Im feeling kind of low
Because when do you fight for someone
And when do you let em go
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine

Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide

My friend said he had seen you
At a movie theater
You looked just had you had always
Didnt ask about me either
I wont say life ends without you
But youre the only answer
You got me like a thief
You got me with my hands up
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine

Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide

Your wish is falling before you
The stars are frustrating
Youre always waiting love

Yeah, theres something wrong
Yeah, be safe now
Theres a faith in my heart
Going days wont stop
When I feel that Im still
In the beat of your soul
When you talk
When you write
When you weave and you flow
And you leave and you stay
Only waiting is left
Now Im kneeling around in the cold

Ive been waiting for you to come to your senses
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
You dont have to carry that weight all by yourself
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
Youve got your gun, your bulletproof pride
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
