Everybody's Problem Lyrics

[00:18.13] Standing there before you
[00:20.88] defences thrown aside
[00:23.51] I thought I heard you laughing
[00:26.24] but when I asked you said you'd cried
[00:29.82] I wanted to believe you
[00:31.61] Yes I wanted to feel strong
[00:34.36] but looking at my picture
[00:37.16] I realised I must be wrong
[00:41.65] Sounds so weak
[00:44.31] it sounds so fey
[00:47.07] it doesn't sound
[00:48.82] like what I meant to say
[00:52.49] I speak to you
[00:55.13] with a borrowed tongue
[00:57.92] Shall I stop right now
[01:00.67] or blindly carry on?
[01:04.29] Choose one
[01:06.90] but I'm not everyone
[01:08.71] I only have one viewpoint
[01:11.43] don't talk to me of right or wrong
[01:15.12] And didn't I often tell you
[01:16.90] oh didn't I often say
[01:19.69] that something in your manner
[01:22.36] that really takes my breath away?
[01:26.86] It's not weak
[01:29.54] to show I care
[01:32.31] I know of those
[01:35.07] who wouldn't even bear
[01:37.71] The fact remains
[01:40.42] I feel a need
[01:43.14] Is it love
[01:45.84] or is it simply greed?
[02:12.01] It's not weak
[02:14.75] to show I care
[02:17.48] I know of those
[02:19.33] who wouldn't even bear
[02:22.96] The fact remains
[02:25.65] I feel a need
[02:29.29] Is it love
[02:31.02] or is it simply greed?
[02:33.86] You choose what you believe in
[02:35.67] as far as I'm concerned
[02:39.25] But one thing I can tell you
[02:41.06] is innocence cannot be learned
[02:44.60] I wish you'd stop me talking
[02:47.37] oh I wish you'd shut my mouth
[02:50.03] Well the reason why I tell you
[02:52.80] is I think that you could help me out
[02:55.57] and if you do then there's no doubt
[02:58.25] that all my problems won't just fly away.
[03:11.72]
