  • Who have I been?
    Who have I been?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    All this time

    Maybe I've spent too much time with myself
    'Cause everything became enormous in my head
    Maybe there was never a demon
    Maybe it was just me dreaming
    And now I can't escape this feeling

    After all this time

    I can't leave it to rest, leave it to rest
    It's like nobody cares, nobody cares
    'Cause I feel like I'm floatin', floatin' over everything
    And every one knows how this story goes
    And I've been under pressure all my life
    And I feel like I'm losing all my fights
    I've been under pressure all my life
    But who have I been fighting all this time?

    I've stood here for so many years
    Waiting for the morning sun beams
    To finally warm me
    But it's happenin' so slowly (but it's happening so slowly, slowly)
    It's impossible to notice (it's impossible to notice, notice)
    Oh, everything around me is changing

    After all this time

    I can't leave it to rest, leave it to rest
    It's like nobody cares, nobody cares
    'Cause I feel like I'm floatin', floatin' over everything
    And every one knows how this story goes
    And I've been under pressure all my life
    And I feel like I'm losing all my fights
    I've been under pressure all my life
    But who have I been fighting all this time?

    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time?
    Who have I been fighting all this time? Writer/s: Aurora Aksnes, Chris Greatti
