Drums, The - What You Were Lyrics






They said
You were a mystery
I know
You can’t fool me

But still I cave in
I gave you my heart
I cave in
I gave you my heart

Well hang on, hang on
I know you don’t think I know
Well hold on, hold on
But I know but I know but I know

I always knew what you were
I always knew what you were

You came along
You came along
I got into your car
You came along
I knew I was wrong
I knew I would die

But still I cave in
I gave you my heart
I cave in
I knew I would die

Well hang on, hang on
I know you don’t think I know
Well hold on, hold on
But I know but I know but I know

I always knew what you were
I always knew what you were

Well hang on, hang on
I know you don’t think I know
Well hold on, hold on
But I know but I know but I know

I always knew what you were
I always knew what you were

  34. J.... M....

    DIOS MÍO, no puedo dejar escuchar The Drums desde que los conocí hace unos años. Todos los días de mi vida, desde que estaba en Venezuela mi país, luego de días tristes y de protesta cuando la depresión me consumía. Ahora que emigré los sigo escuchando aún más y saber que a penas tenía un mes en el exterior vinieron para acá a Lima, Perú. I love The Drums

    J.... M....

    @Carlos Lea Sé que lo escribes con malas intenciones pero eso no me ofende. Claro que volveré a mi país cuando sea el momento indicado. Saludos y deja el odio.

    J.... M....

    Viva el comandante..
    Antes de que nos mate
    el flujo migrante.
    Coño de la madre.

    J.... M....

    Aguante nomás mi hermano, acá no deberían existir ni las fronteras ni la represión, lo único que sería perfecto es que está canción este subtítulada <3 fuerza refugiado político y oídos sordos y vista ciega a la gente ignorante !!!

  35. m.... R....

    Vengan a Perú por la pmtr <3 <3 <3 !!! love u soo much !

  59. B.... R....

    they are gays? lmao i didnt know

    B.... R....

    Yep... They are

  60. B.... R....

    wait... this song is about gay people?

  61. N.... B....

    Im at the point in my life where i love and can appreciate The Drums, but have the misfortune of being able to relate to their songs. Love is a blessing and a curse.

    N.... B....

    Love is a joke with no punchline.

  62. M.... C....

    Eu não aguento essa música, porra, eu choro...

    M.... C....

    Fazer o quê? Existe muita gente babaca!!

    M.... C....

  64. P.... ....

    ian alexander brought me here

  65. B.... ....

    Song reminds me of a 50's high school homecoming dance.

    B.... ....

    SunshineFutanari67 omg, its true

  66. M.... ....

    this song makes me sad to the point where i rather not listen to it but it is so fucking good

    M.... ....

    same. reminds me of someone.

    M.... ....

    yes and I'm only 13

    M.... ....

    Yeah, I fucking hate when that happens to a song I really like... Like when it reminds me of someone/something that makes me sad
    But eventually it goes away

    M.... ....

    Sadgr1 for me 1st was the realization that it reminds me of someone 2nd comes the punch in the face 3rd comes the moving forward

  67. I.... M....

    1.25 !!!! ♥

  68. P.... R....

    aaaahhhhh....uhhh....

  69. A.... a....

    "still I gave in, I gave you my heart"

    A.... a....

    I know what you are

    A.... a....

    On the booklet is "But still I cave in"

    A.... a....

    *random dance*

  70. j.... T....

    Great fucking band mates! keep rocken out

  71. d.... f....

    good to dream.

  72. i.... p....

    excelente tema 

  73. T.... ....

    Quiz:  Who played the alto sax on this song?

    T.... ....

    Connor's papa, duh.

    T.... ....

    +ToolsnFire no fucking clue

    T.... ....

    BUCK STRICKLAND

  74. R.... G....

    Can't wait until Encyclopedia!

    R.... G....

    well......isn't better than the 1st 2 albums. 

    R.... G....

    Can’t wait until Brutalism!

  75. C.... ....

    Portamento is my favorite album of theirs. They have definitely improved since their summertime EP.

  76. b.... ....

    Portamento is a masterpiece.

    b.... ....

    +broghywert sim

    b.... ....

    Oh yeah

    b.... ....

    I agree

    b.... ....

    honest to god

  77. G.... ....

    live is better

    G.... ....

    POPTARTSYUM live is amazing

  78. D.... 8....

    why are you morons talking about his sexuality and only listening to this band because of it.  Shallow people.  Music is made to appeal to the ears.  If it sounds good to you, LISTEN! Makes no sense.  Im straight so should i only listen to straight singers? or can i listen to gay ones too? let me know lol

    D.... 8....

    We need you guys to have a cute little reunion now

    D.... 8....

    @Caelen Motherfucking Rae We've been hanging out in person this whole time.

    D.... 8....

    You guys are best friends now.

    D.... 8....

    @Samsonuel Yes.

    D.... 8....

    Yup. Thought about it for a split second and said fuck it. Liked this song before that anyway. Rob Halford of Judas Priest is gay but what true fan really gives a fuck?

  79. S.... ....

    i only know about this band because of his sexuality. him opening up means he's got new fans, like me! LOVE IS LOVE.

    S.... ....

    Sim gay or not, his music is fucking amazing

    S.... ....

    and then there are fans who do not care about his sexuality.

  80. E.... ....

    Love is love, love is beautiful regardless of sexuality, it's about the things he says, not about who was he thinking about when he wroye the song. My favourite band, for ever and ever, amen.

  81. L.... F....

    we love the drums <3

  82. j.... ....

    Well when you engage in an argument you don't get to dismiss it later by saying, "I don't care," when you've run out of points to make, or when the other person has bested you, which is the case here. Everyone sees through that facade. Sorry, try again next time.

  83. C.... A....

    i love the drums, you are so special, every day I listen your songs and feell with energy again, kissess from spain

  84. Y.... R....

    <3 <3 <3 <3

  85. C.... W....

    They gay thing? Makes sense. I was wondering if this guy was single cause girls are so weird... but this makes sense. Best gay band since Proaghandi. That was no shock either.

  86. c.... s....

    I´m liking this so bad in 1... 2... oh, I´m in love.

  87. S.... F....

    spanish hipster

  88. A.... B....

    What language is that

  89. d.... p....

    i like the visiomento version way better but this is still good

  90. i.... ....

    "but still i cave in" i admire that :3

  91. n.... ....

    how you figure he is gay he never made a coming out... Even if he is, you can't label him gay until he has made it official. I normally don't care, but you got 20 thumbs up for your crass comment so I think you shoud take it off.

  92. B.... A....

    This is the version from portamento? :O

  93. N.... ....

    >2012+1
    >dancing
    Are you stoned?

  94. a.... ....

    Also I don't recall the constitution outlawing gay marriage. If you can cite where the constitution specifically outlaws gay relations I would be happy to hear from you.
