Eraser Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 I was born inside a small town, I lost that state of mind

2 Learned to sing inside the Lords House, but stopped at the age of nine

3 I forget when I get awards now, the wave I had to ride

4 The paving stones I played upon that kept me on the grind

5 So blame it on the pain, that blessed me with the life

6 Friends and family filled with envy when they should be filled with pride

7 And when the world's against me is when I really come alive

8 And everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride

9 You know that I've got whiskey with white lies and smoke in my lungs

10 I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun

11 I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up

12 Instead I look in the mirror questioning what I become

13 Guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me

14 Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree

15 To be caught up in the trappings of the industry

16 Show me the locked doors, I'll find another use for the key, and you'll see

17 I'm well aware of certain things that can destroy a man like me

18 But with that said, give me one more, higher

19 Another one to take the sting away

20 I am happy on my own so here I'll stay

21 Save your loving arms for a rainy day

22 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

23 I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs

24 I changed the picture, perfect life, I think they painted it wrong

25 I think that money is the root of all evil and fame is hell

26 Relationships and hearts you fix, they break as well

27 And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps

28 Because you're living your dream and that shit should be fun

29 Please know that I'm not trying to preach like I'm Reverend Run

30 I beg you don't be disappointed with the man I've become

31 Old conversations with my father on the A14

32 Aged twelve, telling me I've got to chase those dreams

33 Now I'm playing for the people Dad, and they know me

34 With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans

35 Wembley Stadium crowds, two hundred and forty thou'

36 I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud

37 Until the next generation, inspiration's allowed

38 The world may be filled with hate but keep erasing it now, somehow

39 I'm well aware of certain things that will befall a man like me

40 But with that said, give me one more, higher

41 Another one to take the sting away

42 Oh, I am happy on my own so here I'll stay

43 Save your loving arms for a rainy day

44 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

45 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

46 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

47 Welcome to the new show

48 I guess you know I've been away

49 And where I'm heading, who knows?

50 But my heart will stay the same

51 Welcome to the new show

52 I guess you know I've been away

53 But where I'm heading, who knows?

54 My pain, eraser

55 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

56 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

57 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser

58 And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
