Louder


Somebody call a doctor 'Cause my heart just skipped a beat Just now, you looked at me Your eyes, so perfectly I pray that you can’t see What’s going on in mine And you take me by the hand As I try to understand To you, I could never lie But about you, not truth can be said I’ve got no way I’ve got no chance And I just say I’ll tell you later But later never comes And your melodies They make me sing Louder, louder I’ve had opportunities And I’ve done nothing with these I’ve had a thousand chances To explain what this is But I don’t, and I wont Cause you think that it’s another joke But it’s not funny that I’m a broken-hearted And I know that we’re both alone So how about we change that fact If only this could be as simple as that I’ve got no way I’ve got no chance And I just say someday But as everyone’s told me Someday never comes And your melodies Are making me sing Louder, louder Louder, louder I am a clown Juggling secrets Juggling feelings Wobbling through this Finding what truth is I’ve got no way I’ve got no chance My knees are buckling And I’m just struggling And your melodies Are making me sing Louder, louder Louder, louder Louder, louder
