The Difference Lyrics by Westlife

Where We Are

2009

[Verse 1: Shane]
I wake, my faith shaken inside
Images of you race to mind
Did I forget I meant to tell you something?
Only half 'til you have to fall
Only whole when you're seeing it all
Oh, you saved something for me

[Chorus: All, with Shane leading]
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh, I was sliding safe but I was hiding out
Oh, I fell, I'm not down
You showed me the difference

[Verse 2: Mark]
Everything was slipping right through my hands
Hard to find any place to land
Clouds don't cover me where I stand anymore
Only half 'til you think you've lost
Only whole when you're reaching across
Oh, you saved something for me

[Chorus: All]
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh, I was sliding safe but I was hiding out
Oh, I fell, I'm not down
You showed me the difference

[Bridge: Mark]
You resurrected me
Eyes wide open to dream
In scattered pieces when you found me

[Chorus: Shane, All]
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh, I was sliding safe but I was hiding out
Oh, I fell, I'm not down
You showed me the difference

[Outro: Shane]
You showed me the difference
You showed me the difference
