[Verse 1]
I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades, I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you?

[Chorus]
I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

[Verse 2]
We've learned to run from anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know that inside we're broken
I try to patch things up again
To count my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you, have I?

[Chorus]
I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

[Bridge]
It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
You'll lie
We'll get it right this time
Let's leave this all behind
Oh, I will get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh, I

[Breakdown]
Well I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
Don't want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here

[Chorus]
I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you
Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you

[Outro]
It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
