So she tries but she keeps falling the same way
She once took herself to the limit starved herself until her ribs showed through
And she tries oh she tries to be a good hearted soul
Can’t see the goodness in good can’t see realistically

You can tell from the muscles in her face shes not a happy girl
And it plagues her as it circumnavigates her head
She has a feeling in her belly that drains the colour from her face
As she sits and thinks about all the bad things shes done

Forget the regret that brings you undone every time you let it
Be sure before you take on all these matters that don’t matter

And she wishing so her mummy could be here
So she could mend her sleepless nights, hold her tight just to know that she is safe
And she dwells on lost love, dwells lost opportunity
And the better life she felt she could have had

Forget the regret that brings you undone every time you let it
Be sure before you take on all these matters that don’t matter

I watch you
I want to invite you to take a peak, take a piece
and a promise of peace.

If you say that is it, well then I think I’ll want to.
Show to me something more so then I think I’ll have to.

Will you take a hit now, will you fall down and escape the weak
I know theres a person inside you just beginning to breathe.

If you say that is it, well then I think I’ll want to.
Show to me something more so then I think I’ll have to

Will you fall down, catch yourself and these bullets beside you rest.

Despite all things your finding no one will listen.
You try escaping any rationalism.
How could two people be so completely different,
yet, so much very the same?
You keep on trying though you feel so defenseless.
I know some things will surely ruffle your feathers.
I’ve hit the bottom but now I am no longer scared,
I’m just better prepared.

Who said this race would end here?
Who said that?

I listen even though it does sound quite crazy.
I will put it together with out complaining
and then I will deliver them re-arranged and sore
like so many before.
How can one put in so much time and such effort
knowing the chance that things may never be different?
Isn’t it better to be straight and connected
then be unhappy again?

Who said this race would end here?
Who said that?

Who said that things will always be this way?
And I can see it all there right in front of me.
So what should we do from now?
What should I do for us?
what should we do?

You cant ignore the problem, you know its not going away
You want to go but want you to stay.
I cant imagine this pain your going through
And if you leave me here I’m coming too.

But everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you.

I can see your stumbling, your tripping and your lost
My hands are tied but my fingers are crossed.
If you decide to leave here will you stop in and say goodbye
Find a way oh promise me you’ll try.

Because everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you.

Don’t leave me here asleep.
I cant wait for a change, re-arrange it so that every things ok.

Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves you.

I am happy right now don’t you worry.
I have found myself in much worse places.
I have found contentment in these spaces
and now I finally feel like I have found home.

So go and do what you have to do.
I will be waiting.
And though there is nowhere I would rather be
than to be with you now.
I know if you come back to me
we could be a great thing,
but I’ll be OK if you don’t.

Just to have you close enough so I could touch you.
I could open up my eyes and see you next to me
and though its sad to say our goodbyes I will be alright
because I’m happy in my life and I have so much to do.

Go and do what you have to do.
I will be waiting.
And though there is nowhere I would rather be
than to be with you now.
I know if you come back to me
we could be a great thing,
but I’ll be OK if you don’t.

Now I’ve stopped and I take some time
I don’t really know why I was so unhappy.
And with some patience, if I am grateful,
god knows, anything can happen.

So go and do what you have to do.
I will be waiting.
And though there is nowhere I would rather be
than to be with you now.
I know if you come back to me
we could be a great thing,
but I’ll be OK if you don’t.
