World In A Bottle
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.
Give your love away, it's not the way you seem
'Cos someone's just come in your life, and broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty, well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
Whatever I once was is fading fast away
My soul is like a shadow, growing fainter in the day
I've never loved you more, but you feel so out of reach
My life is like a sun, sinking slowly in the beach
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
(Solo)
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
(Solo)
So give your love away, it's not the way you seem
'Cos someone's just come in your life, and broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty, well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
What I got, somebody, who am I, I got the world in a bottle
