Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You've done it all, you've broken every code And pulled the rebel to the floor You spoilt the game, no matter what you say For only metal, what a bore! Blue eyes, blue eyes How come you tell so many lies? Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild There's nothing left, all gone and run away Maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play Win or lose, it's hard to smile Resist, resist It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh Come up and see me to make me smile, oh Or do what you want, running wild There ain't no more, you've taken everything From my belief in Mother Earth Can you ignore my faith in everything 'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth Away, away And don't say maybe you'll try To come up and see me to make me smile Or do what you want just running wild Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild Come up and see me
