Lyrics
I Must
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.
How many ways can I still prove that I love you
In spite of all the crazy tests that you had put me through
How else am I to show you that I forgive you
For countless indiscretions performed in style by you
How many times you hope that I would ignore it
When you commit another crime and kick my love to death
Now I see that things will have to change, right now
Oh, things will have to change around here
How often do I have to say: not to worry
When you do something stupid, simply just because you're vain
How soon, you think, will come the time when you're sorry
And you'll be crying after someone who knew you well
I still believe although I'm losing my patience
Oh please don't shout 'cause if you mean it you can whisper too
Now I see that things will have to...
Things will have to change right now
Oh, things will have to change around here
What happened to your grand designs
What happened to "the first in line"
What happened to "we'll show them how"
What happened to "we'll lead the crowd"
I must, I have to remind you
I must, I have to remind you
I must, I have to remind you
It's not too late to fix your life
It's not too late
There is still time
