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 told you

Everyone's the same

But it's no use

It's no use

Lay it all to blame

At my door

That wont work no more

I've heard it all before

And I, I see you now

You have changed somehow

And I, I wish I knew you back then

Back when you were good

I know you

Better than you know yourself

And it's no use

You can't buy a new life off a shelf

It wont set you free

You're not fooling me

It's so sad to see

How you've changed your tune

And let go

You're like a vampire

You're soaking with bodies' blood

Oh how I wish I knew you back

When you were good

Back when you were someone

Back when you were good

Back when you were someone

When you were good,

You used to be so loud

You burned so bright

Your stars shined out so bright

You had it all right in the palm of your hand

And let it fall like a million grains of sand

You wear away to a place where nobody knew

Just who you are

And theres no one to answer to

No one to question the person you have become

And what have you done

What have you done

And you have gone to hide somehwere

Yah you have gone to hide somewhere
