[Verse 1] It only took a whisper to open up my eyes Then the crushing heartache when I knew the truth And SHE didn't even try to deny it (oh no no) She said we should be getting on with our lives [Chorus] But the music keeps me steady, ready, with the heady beat I crave. When the madness tries to claim me, drain me, only the notes I hear sustain me. [Verse 2] I can't let a girl live rent free in my mind No answers just shadows where her laughter had been She doesn't know what the future holds any more than I do Good luck back in the dating scene, girl (haha) [Chorus] But the music keeps me steady, ready, with the heady beat I crave. When the madness tries to claim me, drain me, only the notes I hear sustain me. [Bridge] And the sound rising higher, breaking chains I could not see. Today's a new day. Every note becomes a fire, burning what’s been holding me. Today's a new day. [Chorus] But the music keeps me steady, ready, with the heady beat I crave. When the madness tries to claim me, drain me, only the notes I hear sustain me. [Outro — chant/whisper] Only music, only sound… Only rhythm, only now…
