Hozier - Unknown / Nth

Verse 1
You know the distance never made a difference to me
I swam a lake of fire, I'd have walked across the floor of any sea
Ignored the vastness between all that can be seen
And all that we believe

Pre-Chorus
So I thought you were like an angel to me

Verse 2
Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy
If there were scarlet flags, they washed out in the mind of mе
Where a blindin' light shone on you еvery night
Either side of my sleep

Pre-Chorus
Where you were held frozen like an angel to me

Chorus
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
So much of the livin', love, is the being unknown

Verse 3
You called me angel for the first time, my heart leapt from me
You smile now, I can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth
And what's left of it, I listen to it tick
Every tedious beat

Pre-Chorus
Going unknown as any angel to me

Bridge
Do you know I could break beneath the weight?
The goodness, love, I'd still carry for you
That I'd watch so far just to take
The injury of finally knowin' you

Chorus
It ain't the being alone (Sha-la-la, sha-la-la, la, la-la)
It ain't the empty home, baby (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
You know I'm good on my own (Sha-la-la, la-la-la)
Sha-la-la, baby, no, it's more the being unknown
And there are some people, love, who are better unknown
