[Intro – Soft rhythmic guitar, gentle bass] Oh, I know, I know Some things never stay Oh, I know, I know We were always gonna change [Verse 1] This is a hollow shade Of something I relied on Something I could give my heart on And it's a real, real shame That I lived for a no one Oh yeah, a no one I kept the photographs Of places we'd forgotten And all the little promises That time had turned to nothing [Pre-Chorus – Gentle rhythmic build] But I can hear the lion call Deeper than my shame And when I finally give it all I'm gonna wake up every day [Chorus – Melodic, bouncy and bittersweet] 'Cause I never told you I was wrong and you were right Doesn't really matter 'Cause I'm alright And I will always hear your voice Somewhere along the way I always knew It would end this way Oh, oh, oh It would end this way Oh, oh, oh But I'm alright today [Verse 2 – Conversational, playful rhythm] There's a little light Coming through the curtains Funny how the world moves on When nothing feels for certain And I don't blame the rain For falling in the summer Some people come to stay And some become another [Pre-Chorus] And I can hear the lion call Louder than yesterday And when I finally lose it all I'll find another way [Chorus] 'Cause I never told you I was wrong and you were right Doesn't really matter 'Cause I'm alright And I will always hear your voice Somewhere along the way I always knew It would end this way [Bridge – Strip back to guitar and voice] Maybe we were golden Maybe we were young Maybe every broken thing Was never meant to last so long And if I had a moment Just a moment left to say I'd thank you for the memories Then quietly walk away [Final Chorus – Slightly fuller, warm harmonies] And I never told you I was wrong and you were right Doesn't really matter I'm alive tonight And I will always hear your voice But I won't ask you to stay I always knew It would end this way [Outro – Guitar plucks, soft fading vocals] Oh, I know, I know Some things never stay Oh, I know, I know I'm alright today.
