VERSES:
1. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
2. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
3. Staring at the rain, pouring down my window,
I keep on wondering why you lie.
I keep on wondering why you lie.
I keep on wondering why you lie.
Like the tears I had to cry, sliding down with pain
Like a ship left on the sea, and the ocean in a rage
Like a bird lost in the sky, flying down with pain
You're still hangin' in my brain and I feel like such a fool. (To Verse 2)
With the waves that run so high it's a never ending tide. (To Chorus 1)
You're still soaring in my brain it's a never ending flight. (To Chorus 2)
CHORUS:
1.2. I don't wanna keep on dragging myself
I Seem to live in happiness
I don't wanna keep on draggin myself
I Need someone to find my way, And I feel like such a fool.
