Before the lights went out
We sat and talked about
All the things we'd be
Just needed her to be with me
All around that time
I was feeling high
A mind of my own
I didn't mind being alone
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
You will live the present tense - won't look back
We made it up not real
We tried to think not feel
When we closed our eyes
And couldn't find what's deep inside
We looked away not through
We used to say not do
Now I understand
I cannot see what I saw then
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
You will live the present tense - won't look back
I will be alright
I will be just fine
Just as soon as I let go...
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
I will live the present tense - won't look back
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
You will live the present tense - won't look back

And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
You will live the present tense - won't look back
