The Things You Were
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.
It's making perfect sense,
why I'm putting this one off.
I'm gonna take that second chance
before the day is done.
I think to myself,
'Maybe this is love...
or maybe it's something else.'
I slowly come apart,
but I'm trying to let go.
What if this is love?
What I barely believe in...
You were ordinary
until You came and saved me.
This is not what it seems, no;
You've take me by surprise
and given me new life, yeah.
I turned every light on,
but I still can't find my way.
And I forget this, what is love.
What's it take to remind me?
You were ordinary
until You came and saved me.
This is not what it seems, no;
You've take me by surprise
and given me new life, yeah.
It's something to live for.
(ba da mm ba da, mm ba da, oo oh oh. [2x])
It's something to live for.
(ba ba mm ba da, mm ba da, oo oh oh. [2x])
It's something to live for.
(ba ba mm ba da, mm ba da, oo oh oh. [2x])
It's something to live for.
(ba ba mm ba da, mm ba da, oo oh oh. [2x])
It's something to live for.
You were ordinary
until you came and saved me.
This is not what it seems, no;
You've take me by surprise
and given me new life, yeah.
Given me new life, yeah.
Given me new life -
