Dermot Kennedy - Sycamore Lyrics


The future will be shaded by the sycamore
The roots will find their way up through the floorboards
It sits beneath the sky that I grew up under
Mm
It’s foolish and it’s faded and it’s immature
It’s vulnerable and broken and it’s insecure
It brings me to my knees when I’m at your door
Begging, “Please, don’t leave.”
‘Cause it’s been too many tears without the consolation
Damn all of these years and all my hesitation
Never found a song that taught me how to say it
How to say it

You can take all of me
Or leave it all behind
You can take all of me
All the love and pain inside
Yeah, keep it as the proof of life
Nothing left to
Oh life
Nothing left to
Yeah, keep it as the proof we tried
Nothing left to
We tried
Nothing left to lose
We tried

Truthfully, I’m scared to show my weakened armour
Scared to know the truth about my crooked karma
I’m scared to know myself, I think I’m getting farther
It’s getting darker
So should our love fall short this time
Just know my heart was open wide
Your warmth will never leave my bed
Those words I never said

You can take all of me
Or leave it all behind
You can take all of me
All the love and pain inside
Yeah, keep it as the proof of life
Nothing left to
Oh life
Nothing left to
Yeah, keep it as the proof we tried
Nothing left to
We tried
Nothing left to lose

So should our love fall short this time
Just know my heart was open wide
Your warmth will never leave my bed
Those words I never said

So should our love fall short this time
Just know my heart was open wide
Your warmth will never leave my bed
Those words I never said

You can take all of me
Or leave it all behind
You can take all of me
All the love and pain inside
Yeah, keep it as the proof of life
Nothing left to
There’s nothing left to
Yeah, keep it as the proof we tried
Nothing left to
There’s nothing left to lose

All of me
You can take all of me
All of me
You can take all of me
