Sidelines Lyrics by Haben Abraham

2016

[Intro]
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind

[Verse 1]
Outside looking in
Watching it again
I stay on the sidelines, I ain't coming in
I know everything
Been through everything
I see where you are, yeah, I know where you’ve been

[Pre Chorus]
You call it falling in love, I
I call it falling prey
You say I’m over protective
I'd rather be that way
I keep my love on a leash
Keep my heart in a cage
Nobody playing with me
Nobody playing with me

[Chorus]
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't know me
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't know me
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't

[Verse 2]
You keep playing dumb
I keep my distance
I stay on the sidelines, I'll be your witness
I know everything
Been through everything
Notice how you never see me in the ring

[Pre Chorus]
You call it falling in love, I
I call it falling prey
You say I’m over protective
I'd rather be that way
I keep my love on a leash
Keep my heart in a cage
Nobody playing with me
Nobody playing with me

[Chorus]
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't know me
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't know me
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't

[Chorus]
You don't know me, you don't know me
You
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't

[Bridge]
If you give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
I won't give it all
I won't

[Chorus]
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't
You don't know me
You don't
You, you won't
Long as I say you don't know me, you don't
Long as I say you won't know me, you won't

[Outro]
If you give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
Give it all, lose it all, lose your mind
