SONG LYRICS
Needed some time
So I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I’ve become
What I have done
I never asked to be the one

I’m riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down
Only around
For you I go again
It’s got to be, easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When five becomes four

When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore?
When five becomes four

Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one moment in time
We’ll all be on your side
The story goes, nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared out in the air
It went and crashed down anywhere

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When five becomes four

When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore?
When five becomes four

Remember the line never say die?
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It’s gonna pay, harder for me
I can’t forgive so many things
When you weren’t there, I was around
Why would you try and hold me now?
Just tell me why
Just tell me why

(Did you run away?) x2

Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore?
When five becomes four

When you are all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore?

When five becomes four…x3
