Be Good, Be True – A Common Year – letras

And I sawEverything I needed toAnd I heardNothing that I wanted toAnd everything you said to me,Despite my doubts,I tried to believeYou tell me when to run awayBut then you leave me all alone againWhat I felt back thenIsn’t true tonightAnd what you said to meDoesn’t make it rightSo if I don’t seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try toBe good, be trueAnd I saidEverything I should to youAnd I keptQuiet when I wanted to(speak up, speak up)But never will I have to biteMy tongue or fake a smile anymoreYou tell me when to run awayBut then you leave me all alone againWhat I felt back thenIsn’t true tonightAnd what you said to meDoesn’t make it rightSo if I don’t seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try toBe good, be trueYou left me standing there that nightA pen in hand I’d use to writeYou a letterThat would be my voice that you refused to hearSo take these as my parting wordsAnd sing to them my dearWhat I felt back thenIsn’t true tonightAnd what you said to meDoesn’t make it rightSo if I don’t seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try toBe good, be true
