Don't Shut Me Down

歌詞

A while ago I heard the sound of children's laughter Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour The sun is going down, it's getting dark I realize I'm cold The rain begins to pour As I watch the windows on the second floor The lights are on, it's time to go It's time at last to let him know I believe it would be fair to say You look bewildered And you wonder why I'm here today And so you should, I would When I left I felt I'd had enough But in the shape and form I appear now I have learned to cope And love and hope is why I am here now And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah I'm fired up, don't shut me down I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down I'm not the one you knew I'm now and then combined And I'm asking you to have an open mind I'm not the same this time around I'm fired up, don't shut me down Will you leave me standing in the hall Or let me enter? The apartment hasn't changed at all I got to say I'm glad Once these rooms were witness to our love My tantrums and increasing frustration But I go from mad To not so bad in my transformation And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah I'm fired up, don't shut me down I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down I'm not the one you knew I'm now and then combined And I'm asking you to have an open mind now I'm not the same this time around I'm fired up, don't shut me down You asked me not to leave Well, here I am again And I love you still and so I won't pretend I have learned to cope And love and hope is why I am here now
