 Struggling with This Room? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I sit and watch you from my window,
Giving yourself away,
You've been working hard all day

I see the ground catch at your feet,
I see the sweet signs of defeat,
Like you're beaten but you feel no pain

And then you turn to me instinctively,
Checking if you're alone,
Like a reflex from my guilty mind

I fall away into the background,
Like a shadow on the wall,
To leave you with your peace of mind

I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my view

Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules
Ooh, 
Oh I got nothing got left to lose,
I think it?s time that I changed my view

Why did you choose my way?
Why did you come down this lonely street?
Was it to meet me?
Was it to tango? 
Well the roots they sound so sweet

Sweeter than gold,
Sweeter than fame,
Sweeter than honey
Won't power the money

Walking along this lonely street,
Someone I'd like to meet,
Someone I'd like to know,
As a kindred soul

oh so spiritual the sound ran down like waterfalls
Running away never the same
Changing my view of you everyday

ohhh

[I watch from my window up high,
All alone in this room,
So many people go the same way,
I think it's time that I changed my views

Like a king in his lonely kingdom,
A ruler who had no rules, Ooh
Oh I got nothing got left to lose,
I think it?s time that I changed my views] (x5)
