all this time-had to stay-tall

you don’t know
what you have been doing all this time
you don’t know
what you have been doing all the time

you thought that it was all right
as it  was
you thought that it’d work out fine
as it was going

you can’t think
what you have been thinking all this time

thought it’d be all right
you believed
your time was to come around

you can’t believe
what you’ve been believing all this time
you can’t see
how you could have been so blind

now that you look at it
it’s perfectly clear
it must have been
perfectly clear all the time

you thought that it was all right
it was
it was working fine
it was

you thought it would be fine

you thought it would be fine

you thought it would be fine



i had to stay
didn’t know what i’d do without
my baby
didn’t know if i’d get through
through all the tears
that i cried for you
through all the tears
cried because of you

i had to try
to get it right
knew that you’d never be
you’re never satisfied
thought i would stay
thought that everything could be the same
thought i should stay
somehow everything would be the same

had to stay
had to try

had to stay
had to try



tell me
what you’re going to do
tell me
what you’re going to do
you know the reason why i’ve stayed here
you know the reason why i’ve tried

tell me
what i am to do
tell me
what you expected
you are the reason why i am here
you are the reason why i try

tell me
everything you’ve never said
tell me everything
nothing will it change
you are the reason why i’m standing tall
you are the reason why i never fall
