I used to make the fire
Now I'm running out of flame
The closer I get the more IT RAINS
And I won't change everything
To have you back again
But I can't keep everything the same
They say it won't get harder
I'm gonna be OK
But it's just like me going against the GRAIN
And while I'M TIED to your shoestrings
And I'm breaking from the strain
Those damn THINGS hold on like chains
Yeah those damn things hold on like chains

Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now

If I was a liar, I'D HAVE a few more friends
The chances are my heart would never mend
Even THOUGH my conscience would COME
Running back again
Doesn't really hurt to pretend
No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend

Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever see me like I saw you
Was I ever really more than ordinary
Did you ever need me like I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now...
