I used to make the fire   Now I'm running out of flame   The closer I get, the more regrets      And I won't change everything   To have you back again   But I can't keep everything the same      They say it won't get harder   And I'm gonna be okay   But it's just like me going against the break      And while I'm tied to your shoestrings   And I'm breakin' from the strain   Those damn things hold on like chains   Yeah, those damn things hold on like chains      Was I ever really more than ordinary?   Did you ever see me like I saw you?   Was I ever really more than ordinary?   Did you ever need me like I need you now?   I need you now      If I was a liar   I had a few more friends   The chances are my heart would never mend      And even know my conscience would go   Runnin' back again   Doesn't really hurt to pretend   No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend      Was I ever really more than ordinary?   Did you ever see me like I saw you?   Was I ever really more than ordinary?   Did you ever need me like I need you now?   I need you now   I need you now   I need you now   I need you now   I need you now
