Trade Heroes - Waking Up Lyrics

For every wrong you entertain
There's a right that you ignore
You say there's nothing left to gain
But you don't know what's in store

Is it too much to ask for kindness
If all you give is pain
Is it too much to beg forgiveness
Of everyone
Who's loved you in vain

But oh, you go it on your own
I know it makes you proud
To build a private throne
Above the madding crowd
And the only price you have to pay
Is waking up alone

Now you're always one to judge
But you hope that others won't
And so quick to hold a grudge
For all the things they don't

Is it a sense of broken dignity
You feel the need to mend
Or is it just your vanity
That you'd risk
Everything to defend

But oh, you go it on your own
I know it makes you proud
To build a private throne
Above the madding crowd
And the only price you have to pay
Is waking up alone

But oh, you go it on your own
It makes you so damn proud
To build a private throne
Above the madding crowd
And the only price you have to pay
Is waking up alone
