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.
Know that I
Went as high
As I could go on my first time
Where's the fun
If your feelings
Are left behind?
But it’s your right
When you mean it
To find the proof
And make me hear it
‘Cause when I'm wrong
I don't see it anymore
‘Cause I feel like a fake when I feel
Any feeling
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
‘Cause I can't bear to climb the walls you walk through
But it’s the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I belong with you
You have a laugh when you let go
It makes a big unwanted sideshow
Why count the times
That you feel low
When you shine?
‘Cause you're stone cold wise and I'm in
To what you're doing
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
‘Cause I could never climb the walls you'd walk through
And it’s the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I belong with you
And I know it feels like you've spent your whole life
With people trying to keep you in your place
Well no one knows you no better than me
When I say
No, no, no, no
I wouldn't wanna happen to you
‘Cause I could never climb the walls you walk through
But it’s the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I belong with you
You pinned your hopes on me like I'm all you'll find
But I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time
Yeah
I've gone away, yeah
Gone away
