Refrain
All · Mass Nerder [1998]
I Began With The Words But Now They're Gone Laid Out
The Story If You All Would Sing Along But I Should've
Known The Story Would Go All Wrong If The World Sing
Along I Think That You Know When It's Time For You
To Go I'll Stand And Refrain We Were At The Beginning
When I Began Never Finished The End Story Was Getting
Good When I Heard Your Voice So Clear Say So Long My
Friend I Think That You Know When It's Time For You
To Go I'll Stand And Refrain Although I Never Really
Knew You I'm Prepared To Show You That I'll Take All
The Blame I Take All The Blame I'll Stand And Refrain
Shouldn't Have Held On So Tight If I Dare To Beg I
Can't And Now I See Why Why Lie About The Way I've
Been Begging You To Stay I Think That You Know When
It's Time For You To Go I'll Stand And Refrain Although
I Never Really Knew You I'm Prepared To Show You That
I'll Take All The Blame I'll Stand And Refrain
