You're talking so loud You bury the sound Of your heart that's singing out
And where do you want to be? On top of the world But you're just a girl Who forgot what it's like to dream
Leave everything behind But you're so tired One day you might open up your eyes and find
[Chorus] What you've got isn't what you wanted What you need just happens to be What you've got isn't what you wanted What you need just happens to be Someone you should know
You try to hide between the lines Of a story never told But I've seen you run away You're afraid of the fall The weight of it all is too much
But you might change your mind If you'd stand up one day You might open up your eyes and find
[Chorus]
La da da da...[x5]
How do you keep it up? It's all just a front A dangerous stunt You're gonna come down soon enough
Open up your eyes Don't be scared You might find you had it all the time
What you've got is what you wanted What you need just happens to be What you tried so hard to hide It was there between the lines Of the story never told Of someone you should know
What you've got is what you wanted What you need just happens to be Someone you should know What you've got is what you wanted What you need just happens to be Someone you should know
[repeat till fade]
