[Verse 1]
Lay it on (it on, it on, it on)
Now that I can see (now that I can see)
Couldn't bare to talk (to talk, to talk, to talk)
Without the will to breathe (without the will to breathe)

[Chorus]
Didn't hear the strength within your words
And what they mean
You were watching over me (watching over me)

[Verse 2]
You can hear the call (the call, the call, the call)
When trouble's on the way (when trouble's on the way)
Who said the beast was gone (was gone, was gone, was gone)
He was only just away (only just away)

[Chorus]
Trying to find peace in always knowing
I was never really free
You were watching over me (watching over me)

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
With the will to look to away
When I was falling down
Crawling in the dirt
Is it fair enough to say
That I needed you through the crazy pain
Of living here with all this hurt
And what I feel (what I feel)
All I touch and how I steal (how I steal)
The fantasy was far too real (far too real)
Oh, and I let it slip away (let it slip away)
[Chorus]
Didn't hear the strength within your words
And what they mean
You were watching over me (watching over me)
