I’ve Been Here Before
[Verse 1]
And I've been here before
Gazing at that sunlit riddle that I can't solve even though I try again
You can say it again
My friends wanna tell me something's different it's the same thing over and over again
Can you riddle me that now?
Can you tell me love that it's time? Won't you save me as I pretend?
Are we over the hill now?
You know when the part where things get rough in tide, grows in size, would you die inside? Would you lеt me rise again?
[Chorus]
And I've been hеre before
I've been here before
[Verse 2]
I've been here before
I can sympathize with all those kinds of people that get tied in
And I've seen it before
Convince myself this time something's different, yet I can't put my finger on it
And you tell me you know how, but I can see that you're hopeless and you're trying, you try over and over again
As if you didn't know right you practice and protect those lonely reasons as you focus on your defense
Over and over again
[Chorus]
And I've been here before
And I've been here before
[Verse 3]
And I've been here before
I could fool myself into thinking something's missing
There's nothing to gain, there's nothing to get
Will you sympathize and open up your heart?
Before you fall apart
[Chorus]
And I've been here before
And I've been here before
And I've been here before
[Outro]
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart, and I've been here before
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart, when there's nothing to gain, nothing to get
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart (There's just nothing to get)
Gimme five more minutes 'till I fall apart
I've been here before
Yeah, I've been here before
