Our Song

Matchbox Twenty · North [2012]

I don't know why sometimes we seem so apart,

Sewn together with a broken heart,

I try to see you but it's getting dark.



Words keep flowing out I wonder what they mean,

You're like a little piece of kerosene,

But girl you've always been a friend to me.



And I've been too proud,

Sometimes chasing former lives.



Oh no, I'm gonna be there,

Always, after the pain has gone away,

The feelings are so strong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



Oh no, I'll never make you cry again,

I'm gonna set things right again,

And I won't let them go wrong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



I don't know if someone else could handle me,

Well I don't know what I'm supposed to be,

You're the only one who really sees, you get me.



I feel something growing deep inside of me,

What I say and what I mean always seems to disagree,

So help me pull this hard time, change these four lines.



Oh no, I'm gonna be there,

Always, after the pain has gone away,

The feelings are so strong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



Oh no, I'll never make you cry again,

I'm gonna set things right again,

And I won't let them go wrong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



Oh no, I'm gonna be there,

Always, after the pain has gone away,

The feelings are so strong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



Oh no, I'll never make you cry again,

I'm gonna set things right again,

And I won't let them go wrong,

This can be our song, this can be our song.



Oh oh,

This can be our song, this can be our song,

Oh oh,

This can be our song, this can be our song,

Oh no oh no,

This can be our song, this can be our song.
