Eraser Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

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

Learned to sing inside the Lord's house, but stopped at the age of nine 

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

The paving stones I played upon, they kept me on the grind 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become 

I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me 

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

To be caught up in the trappings of the industry 

Show me the locked doors, I find another use for the key 

And you'll see

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

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

But with that said give me one more, higher 

Another one to take the sting away 

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

Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

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

I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong 

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

Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well 

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

Because you're living your dream, man, this shit should be fun 

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

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

Our conversations with my father on the A14 

Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams 

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

With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans 

Wembley Stadium crowd's two-hundred-and-forty-thou' 

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

And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed 

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

Somehow 

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

But with that said give me one more, higher 

Another one to take the sting away 

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

Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

Welcome to the new show 

I guess you know I've been away 

But where I'm heading, who knows 

But my heart will stay the same 

Welcome to the new show 

I guess you know I've been away 

But where I'm heading, who knows 

My pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser 

And I'll find comfort in my pain, eraser
