The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
The night is deafening When the silence is listening And I'm down on my knees, And I know that something is missing. Because the Back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in But I choose to ignore it Because I'm always denying them I'm a Bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it 'Cause I start losing my head And then I get up in a panic Remember when we were kids And always knew when to quit it Are we denying a crisis Or are we scared of admitting it? I don't want to know I just want to run to you And break off the chains, And throw them away I just want to be so much And shake off the dust that turned me to rust Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour, I'll need a saviour. It won't ever change If you want it to stay the same I really hate it but I know It's hard to choose if you're chained and when it's all All you control 'cause you've got nothing else to hold You're getting tighter and tighter, It's getting harder to let it go I don't want to know I just want to run to you (I just want to run) And break off the chains, And throw them away I just want to be so much (I just want to be) And shake off the dust that turned me to rust Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour, I'll need a saviour. Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small Free my hands and feet And maybe I won't always fall Save me I just want to run to you (I just want to run) And break off the chains, (save me) And throw them away I just want to be so much (I just want to be) And shake off the dust (save me) That turned me to rust I just want to run to you (just want to run to you) And break off the chains (save me) And throw them away I just want to be so much (just want to be so much) And shake off the dust (save me) That turned me to rust Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour, (saviour) I'll need a saviour.
