Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We always stick together Like we're something made of glue And justify the passion Saying one is more than two But if you don't believe the words They're surely to come true There's one thing that's so obvious But it's something you won't do Because you stand above me But I know you don't You say you love me But I know you won't We always say we're happy When you know it's never true But I was just so frightened Of the things you'd say and do But if you don't believe the words They're surely to come true It's starting to be so obvious That it's something you won't do Because you stand above me But I know you don't You say you love me But I know you won't But if you don't believe the words They're surely to come true There's one thing that's so obvious But it's something you won't do Because you stand above me But I know you don't You say you love me But I know you won't
