Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There is no end to this I have seen your face But I don't recognize all these things You must have left behind It's a problem, you know That's been there all your life I try to make you see the world without a view That just turn black and white At night it gets cold and You'd dearly like to turn away The escape that fills That makes you want to turn on heel Alone, alone, alone, alone There is no end to this I can't turn away Another picture but the scene Is still the same There is no room to move Or try to look away Remember, life is strange The life keeps getting stranger every day I try so hard but this attitude's A type that won't subside No matter what they say Remember your heart beats you day at night Your heart beats you day at night Your heart beats you day at night Your heart beats you day at night
