Five Years
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.
Try and pretend
To remember when you were scared you'd say
"do you think that we could be these people who lose everything?"
And dont forget that you're (we're) scared
Im finally at the im staying
Im finally at the place i can call my own
Im trying not to lose my reasons
I plan on to remember all i know
You know if i lose my faith, it comes back
I hope he knows i tried
Try and pretend
To erase the past 5 years you missed
Now do you think that it would be best and
Would you make the same mistakes
Or would you learn from them and learn
That if it werent for you...
Im finally at the im staying
Im finally at the place i can call my own
Im trying not to lose my reasons
I plan on remembering all i know
You know if i lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows i tried
Yeah i tried...
Yeah i tried...
Do you think that we could be the kind that take everything (for granted)
Aware of what we say
We know make the same mistakes
The ones that really brought us here
Now dont you think that we would change
We always make the same mistakes
The ones that went
They run this way...
Im finally at the im staying
Im finally at the place i can call my own
Im trying not to lose my reasons
I plan on to remember all i know
You know if i lose my fear, it comes back
I hope he knows i tried
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried
