James Arthur - Recovery Lyrics






I don't want to play this game no more
I don't wanna play it
I don't want to stay 'round here no more
I don't wanna stay here
Like rain on a Monday morning
Like pain that just keeps on going on

Look at all the hate they keep on showing
I don't want to see that
Look at all the stones they keep on throwing
I don't want to feel that
Like Sun that will keep on burning
I used to be so discerning, oh

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
Tell me what they’re saying
And I can hear the phone
It keeps on ringing
I don’t want to answer
I know that I used to listen
And I know I’ve become dismissive

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

    James authur ,is a great vocalist ,this is amazing going to be a mega star love his music discovered him a while back . Fan forever. Dedicate this song to my gergous beloved man .That treats with respect and i adore him . Found my truth . But before this special person came into my life . Here goes my story i met a horrible man from Warrington uk in manchester lives in cheshire area michael Billones. Stold lots of money from me user and a thief con lier user manipulator. I had to remove my picture from my profile not to recognized. I can't believe i allowed this horrible person who destroyed my life. Huge mistake of my life lesson learned. Watch out for social media careful, and if my story helps one girl its worth it. Please don't remove this message yutube want the world to know about this horrible person who destroyed my life. Corupt Fillipino works as a chef in WARRINGTON uk Manchester catfish in a pub 20min away from cheshire area. He'll never find happiness only fake poeple in his life has no respect for nobody not even himself or remorse for what hes done too me. Thank god i never went to see him. Not even my type very unatractive and a thief. Karma is a great cycle of life will do too him what he deserves. Treated very bad no respect . Hard to forget for me as a woman ,it will stsy with for yrs to come . Don't forget this coward name MICHEAL BILLONES also has a accohol problem and woman.
