Variable Lyrics by ROAM

No Common Ground

2012

[Verse 1]
I did my best for you
But it was not enough
Everything fell through
I wish it hadn't but

I took the high road and never looked back now
I took the high road and never looked back again

[Chorus]
But you'll never know
What you meant to me (this generation continues to amaze me)
And though I'll never show
The things I never meant you to see
Take me back to what we used to be
Show me the person that I used to see

I wanna see the other side
Take a step back, look at yourself now do you recognise
Yourself in what you've become
And our things are all said and done
Now it's over
Now it's over

[Verse 2]
I'm taking it back again
Talked to another of your friends
She said it's not the first time
I guess I'll go on without you
But I don't wanna go without you

[Chorus]
But you'll never know
What you meant to me (this generation continues to amaze me)
And though I'll never show
The things I never meant you to see
Take me back to what we used to be
Show me the person that I used to see

I wanna see the other side
Take a step back, look at yourself now do you recognise
Yourself in what you've become
And our things are all said and done
Now it's over
Now it's over

[Bridge]
Show me the person you want to be
These false pretences don't fool me
Your lies are causing consequences
I'll call it counter-intuitive
I'm not saying it's you
Or that I was warned to
Stay away

[Chorus]
I wanna see the other side
Take a step back, look at yourself now do you recognise
Yourself in what you've become
And our things are all said and done
Now it's over
Now it's over
