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.
Drained of emotion
Tears run dry
I would give anything
Just to feel all right
Down on my knees
Praying for help
But sometimes you just gotta help yourself
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I would never try hard enough
Though I love you, got to give you up
I'm going back to who I was
And I do believe that change is gonna do me good
Let's take this moment to say goodbye
Look at each other right straight in the eye
Don't look back, baby, because I'll be gone
I've got my own life to carry on
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I would never try hard enough
Though I love you, got to give you up
I'm going back to who I was
And I do believe that change is gonna do me good
I do believe
Change, change is gonna do me good
Change, change is gonna do me good
Drained of emotion
Tears run dry
I would give anything
