The Answer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was gone a long time
But I'm still your friend
Forever in the back of your mind
No beginning and no end
They may try to replace me
With a guy in a suit
By the time you face me
He's no substitute
I'm the answer
From all points of view
I'm the reason
They created you
Now don't tell me
I ain't worth fighting for
I'm the answer
How can you ask for more
They may try to reinvent me
As if something was wrong
Then one day you're ready
To sing the same old song
'Cause it's true it all comes down
To a little flame
And by now there's only hopin'
You still know my name
I'm the answer
From all points of view
I'm the reason
They created you
Don't you tell me
I ain't worth fighting for
I'm the answer
How can you ask for more
Guy in a suit
He's no
Substitute
I said a guy in a suit
He's no

Don't you tell me
I ain't worth fighting for
I'm the answer
How can you ask for more
Guy in a suit
