Lyrics

Been Here Before

The bridges have been burned again

From heart to heart and friend to friend

From dust to dust and back again

And now I am alone again

The bridges have been burned again

From heart to heart and friend to friend

The gloves are off, let's not pretend

The sky's gonna fall

I've been here before

The time has come, the scene is set

The curtain's down, the crowd is left

I'm shutting down what power is left

I know what's in store

I've been here before

But I don't wanna wait a lifetime

I'm not gonna trust time

Cause my desperate heart is all on its side

No I don't wanna waste a lifetime

Keeping it all inside

It will come when I least expect it

So I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm staring out across the sea

Expanding out before me

I see what lies, what lies beneath

When love comes to call I'll give it my all

Til then I'll twist and turn the key

Unlock my heart away from me

I'm giving up for all to see

My back's on the wall

Don't dance anymore

But I don't wanna wait a lifetime

I'm not gonna trust time

Cause my desperate heart is all on its side

No I don't wanna waste a lifetime

Keeping it all inside

It will come when I least expect it

So I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

Hide your head in the sand

Until it's safe to come out again

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up (Giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up)

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up

I'm giving up on love

I'm giving up (Giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up, giving up)

I'm giving up on love

The bridges have been burned again

From heart to heart and friend to friend

From dust to dust and back again

And now I am alone again
