Been Here Before - Newton Faulkner, Darren Poole, Shawn Lee

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.
