Survive
Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you
To make my life a little brighter
I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
Apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses
And proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
All over the night
Seasons change
Yes, people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
But I see you're still alive
Seasons change
Yes, people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
So how could you survive me?
How could you survive?
Whatever happened to you
Ooh, the one that was so beautiful
I could count on you
To make my life, my life a little brighter
Oh, I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
I always thought, I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
Apart so fast, apart so fast
Seasons change
And yes, people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
But I see you're still alive
Seasons change
Yes, people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
So how could you survive me?
So how could you survive?
I'm not asking for much
Only for time to stop
And history to go unrecorded
And people not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be, people not to be, people not to be-
Ooh, people not to be people
Oh, people not to be people
People not to be, people not to be, people not to be-
People not to be, people not to be, people not to be-
People not to be, people not to be, people not to be (how could you?)
People not to be (how could you?), people not to be
People not to be (how could you?), people not to be
People not to be (how could you forgot?)
Oh, how could you?
How could you?
So how could you
Survive?
So how could you
Survive, survive, survive, survive?
How could you, how could you
Survive, survive, survive, survive?
We gotta survive
We gotta survive
We gotta survive
We gotta survive
We gotta survive
Yeah, yeah, we gotta-
We gotta survive
We gotta survive, survive
We gotta survive, survive
How could you?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
How could you?
How could you?
How could you?
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you
To make my life a little brighter
I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
I always thought that you were built to last
I never saw anything fall apart so fast
Apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses
And proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night
All over the night
Seasons change
Yes, people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
But I see you're still alive
