[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
All of us have tried, better learn to say goodbyes
If you're livin' like a dog in the dirt
Eatin' shit, gettin' wasted all over again
It's not over my friend
[Pre-Chorus]
These are the words that I'll say
Take it or leave it, anyway I came here to stay
[Chorus]
There was a time when you and I lay in the sun
While the rush hour traffic turned into light and you died
You almost died just in time for the whole world
To see you come alive, but you closed your eyes
Silently and blind to what's right before your eyes (What's right before your eyes)

[Verse 2]

When you're lovin' someone right outside their door
Lookin' in, havin' visions of what could've been
If you'd just let me in
[Pre-Chorus]
These are the words that I'll say
Take it or leave it, anyway I came here to stay
[Chorus]
There was a time when you and I lay in the sun
While the rush hour traffic turned into light and you died
Oh, you almost died just in time for the whole world
To see you come alive, but you closed your eyes
Silently and blind to what's right before your eyes
Silently and blind
[Bridge]
These are the words that I'll say
Take it or leave it, anyway I came here to stay
These are the words that I'll say
Take it or leave it, anyway I came here to stay
