Had to Know

[Intro]
I'm weary
I can feel these walls relieve
I'm the city's
Burning desire to breathe
In the sunshine
I can show you anything
But you'll realize
I'm not who I used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
And is it true?
Oh, that the way you smile
Made me stare for awhile at you
And I can tell that you don't mind
By the way you let me

[Chorus]
Down (Ohhh)
Don't you know that you let me
Down?
'Cos I let you spin my love
Around
Into something that gets me
Down
I took my time because I had to know I'd never let you go

[Verse]
In the winter
The shore escapes the sea
Like the free world's
Burning desire to breathe
I stay on the inside
Where I can't see anything
Because in the sunshine
Of your lies
Your eyes say everything to me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cos it's true (Ohhh)
That the way you smile
Made me stare for a while at you
And I can tell that you don't mind
By the way you let me

[Chorus]
Down
Don't you know that you let me
Down
'Cos I let you spin my love
Around
Into something that gets me
Down
I took my time
Because I had to know I'd never let you go
I had to know I'd never let you go

[Outro]
Because I had to know I'd never let you go
Because I had to know I'd never let you go
