I used to make the fire Now I'm running out of flame The closer I get the more IT RAINS And I won't change everything To have you back again But I can't keep everything the same They say it won't get harder I'm gonna be OK But it's just like me going against the GRAIN And while I'M TIED to your shoestrings And I'm breaking from the strain Those damn THINGS hold on like chains Yeah those damn things hold on like chains Was I ever really more than ordinary Did you ever see me like I saw you Was I ever really more than ordinary Did you ever need me like I need you now I need you now If I was a liar, I'D HAVE a few more friends The chances are my heart would never mend Even THOUGH my conscience would COME Running back again Doesn't really hurt to pretend No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend Was I ever really more than ordinary Did you ever see me like I saw you Was I ever really more than ordinary Did you ever need me like I need you now I need you now I need you now I need you now...
