Isbells I Was Told song lyrics

I was told not to lie or betray anyone

Wonderful ideals that I carried for so long

I was told not to fight, just turn the other cheek

Sometimes it feels like I can't

Live up to this

Don't you know?

Everything is coming down

It's coming down on me

Don't you know?

Everything is coming down

And I'm my own trustee

I was told to love and respect anyone

To stand up for the weak and share everything

I got I was told to trust and forgive when I must

Sometimes it feels like I can't

Live up to this

Don't you know?

Everything is coming down

It's coming down on me

Don't you know?

Everything is coming down

And I'm my own trustee
