What You Thought You Needed Lyrics & Video

Well look at all those fancy clothes
but these could keep us warm just like those
and what about your soul? is it cold?
is it straight from the mold and ready to be sold?
and cars and phones and diamond rings
bling bling
those are only removable things
and what about your mind does it shine or
are there things that concern you
more than your time

gone, going, gone
everything
gone
give a damn
gone, be the birds when they don't wanna sing
gone people
all awkward with their things
gone.

look at you out to make a deal
you try to be appealing,
but you lose your appeal
and what about those shoes you're in today
they'll do no good
on the bridges you've burnt along the way, oh
you were willing to sell anything
gone with your hurt
leave your footprints
and we'll shame them with our words
gone people
all careless and consumed
gone
gone going gone
everything gone,
give a damn
gone, be the birds when they don't wanna sing
gone people
all awkward with their things
gone.
