Lyrics
You Say
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 a cold world, it's a cruel world
When you haven't got no one to love
And all that poison builds up in your heart
Like a cancer killing a dove
You gotta stop that life turning upside down
You gotta find someone to take care of
I say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay
Here comes the thrill man but don't turn around
Like a spoke turning on the wheel
And it comes and it goes and nobody knows
If it's fake or if it's for real
When you find someone with a light in their eyes
And your heart you know they will steal
You Say, I'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay
And when it comes to the end of day
And you lie sleeping here next to me
I look to you, and softly say
Am I dreaming or are you really there?
I can't eat, I can't sleep
The face around a fall
You Say, I'm special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay
You Say, you're special
No one's ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you won't decide to stay
