Newton Faulkner - Been Here Before lyrics

The bridges have been burned again
From heart to heart and friend to friend
From dust to dust and back again
And now I am alone again

The bridges have been burned again
From heart to heart and friend to friend
The gloves are off, let's not pretend
The sky's gonna fall i've been here before
The time has come, the scene is set
The curtain's down, the crowd is left
I'm shutting down what power is left
I know what's in store i've been here before

But, I don't wanna wait a lifetime
I'm not gonna trust time
Cause my desperate heart is all on it's side

No I don't wanna waste a lifetime
Keeping it all inside
It will come when I least expect it
So I'm giving up i'm giving up on love
I'm giving up i'm giving up on love

I'm staring out across the sea
Expanding out before me
I see what lies, what lies beneath
When love comes to call I'll give it my all

Til then I'll twist and turn the key
Unlock my heart away from me
I'm giving up for all to see
My back's on the wall don't dance anymore

But, I don't wanna wait a lifetime
I'm not gonna trust time
Cause my desperate heart is all on it's side

No I don't wanna waste a lifetime
Keeping it all inside
It will come when I least expect it
So I'm giving up i'm giving up on love
I'm giving up i'm giving up on love
I'm giving up i'm giving up on love
I'm giving up i'm giving up on love

Hide your head in the sand
Until it's safe to come out again
I'm giving up i'm giving up on love
I'm giving up
(Giving up, giving up, giving up, giving
Up, giving up, giving up, giving up)
I'm giving up on love i'm giving up
I'm giving up on love i'm giving up
(Giving up, giving up, giving up, giving
Up, giving up, giving up, giving up)
I'm giving up on love

The bridges have been burned again
From heart to heart and friend to friend
From dust to dust and back again
And now I am alone again
