Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say
That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same
Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence
'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could've been you
And why do you weep
For the passing of ages?
You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love
I couldn't believe it
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
How long must I wait
For you to release me?
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain't worth the living
Once more will I hear you say
That we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same
Don't stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don't suffer in silence
'Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
(And every time I hear you)
Never be the same
(And every time I mess up)
Never be the same
Never be the same
Never be the same
And every time I hear you
And every time I mess up
Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
