Never Born To Follow
Alter Bridge · AB III.5 [2011]
I know you feel it tonight
She's a million miles from this life
Never to return
She left it all behind
If only I could have known (oh, oh)
The things she held in her soul (oh, oh)
She harbored so much hurt (oh, oh)
She faced the world alone
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
(Yeah, oh, oh Yeah, oh, yeah)
Into this life she was born
A firefly in the storm
And god how she would burn
She needed so much more
She never said good-bye (oh, oh)
So it came as no surprise (oh, oh)
I always feared the worst (oh, oh)
A peace she had to find
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
What else could be said
What else could be done
Life has slipped away
Should have could have over come
Still I miss her face
Brighter than the sun
She had to find her way
She dared to dream
She dared to run
(oh, oh)
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
She's a million miles from this life
Never to return
She left it all behind
If only I could have known (oh, oh)
The things she held in her soul (oh, oh)
She harbored so much hurt (oh, oh)
She faced the world alone
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
(Yeah, oh, oh Yeah, oh, yeah)
Into this life she was born
A firefly in the storm
And god how she would burn
She needed so much more
She never said good-bye (oh, oh)
So it came as no surprise (oh, oh)
I always feared the worst (oh, oh)
A peace she had to find
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
What else could be said
What else could be done
Life has slipped away
Should have could have over come
Still I miss her face
Brighter than the sun
She had to find her way
She dared to dream

(oh, oh)
She dropped out and just tore herself away
She was never born to follow
Dropped out of a world she couldn't take
She was never born to follow
