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 its 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 its 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
