About You
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.
I counted down
Just like you did before you said
It's too short
How long I said
It's too short
Who's to blame
A golden plate
If it's true I'm born to remain star across
Seems he couldn't be respectable, discreet
And if I found that what she said was true
What she said about you
What she said assume
I should have known
When you said that you chose me
All that I want
Is to see some true reflecting
To learn somehow, and to be strong somehow
In this state of mind
Hop in
And if I found out what she said was true
What she said about you
What she said assume
I should have known
When you said that you chose me
Stay strong
??
Be born
??
Be brave
??
You'll grow
??
Be brave
??
Stay..
And if I found that what she said was true
What she said about you
What she said assume
I should have known
When you said that you chose me
