Lyrics
There Was
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.
We're talking again
Smiling and laughing
Ignoring the past
Well, I hope you're happy
I know there was something
Please, don't
Let it
Die away
I know what you're thinking
I know
What you
Want to say
I won't give it names
For names have no uses
Just shots in the dark
Or easy excuses
I know there was something
Please don't
Let it
Die away
I know what you're thinking
I know
What you
Want to say
I know there was something
Please, don't
Let it
Die away
I know what you're thinking
I know
What you
Want to say
