the way you are in me

The Way You Are

The Afters.

Until You came I was just the same
As everybody else
Whoever saw the light and turned away

You love me now
You loved me then
And every now and again
You show me how it would be if I'd gone the other way

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

-Chorus-
It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomic bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

Now here I stand looking back
To the way things used to be
But I will never be alone again

Cause you're with me
And now I see
What it means to me
To be a part of such a mystery

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

-Chorus-
It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomic bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

-Chorus-
It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomic bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are
That's the way You are in me (That's the way)
That's the way You are in me (That's the way)
That's the way You are in me (That's the way)
That's the way You are in

This song by the afters was singing in my heart so i took a listen and wow. I didn't really listen closely to the lyrics until now but wow. I like the chorus ...like atomic bombs in reverse... that's the way you are in me.

I bought the album "I wish we all could win" after listening to one of their songs on the billboard top 20 hits and loved the band. They have a new album out, can't wait to get it hehe.

I dunno why but this quote has been on my mind, Emotions are deceptive, only the word is truth, I posted it in facebook a while ago and I find it so true. Coming from a place where i relied heavily on emotions to make the right choice and seeing how that led me brought me to the place where the thought does not even come to my mind. Humans are so fickle, i sound like an alien saying that but its true and people make promises and assurances and then go on to change them like it was nothing. That's why in psalms David says woe to him who puts his trust in man.

There's a story behind that verse for me but I won't share about it now. And just to clarify, it happened between me and my mom a long time ago before i came over here {very important}.
