"I've Been Here Before" lyrics

I've been here before
Gazin' at that sunlit riddle that I can't solve
Even though I try again

You could say it again
My friends wanna tell me something's different
To something over and over again

Can you riddle me that now?
And you tell me, love, that it's time
Won't you save me as I pretend?

Are we over the hill now?
You know in the part where things get rough
In time, it grows in size
Which you die inside but you let me rise again

And I've been here before
And I've been here before
And I've been here before
I can sympathize with all those kinds of people
Who get tired, and

And I've seen it before
Convince myself this time something's different
And I can't put my finger on it

And you tell me you know how
But I can see that you're hopeless and you're tryin'
You try over and over again

If you didn't know right
You'd practice and protect those lonely reasons
You focus on your defense
Over and over again

And I've been here before
And I've been here before
And I've been here before
I can fool myself into thinkin' something's missin'

There's nothin' to gain
There's nothin' to get
But you sympathize and open up your heart
Before you fall apart

And I've been here before
And I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before

Give me five more minutes till I fall apart
And I've been here before
Give me five more minutes till I fall apart
Give me five more minutes till I fall apart

And there's nothing to gain
And there's nothing to get
But give me five more minutes till I fall apart
Give me five more minutes till I fall apart

Give me five more minutes till I fall apart
I've been here before
Yeah, I've been here before
