Don't Shut Me Down
[00:01.12] A while ago, I heard the sound of children's laughter
[00:04.88] Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
[00:10.15] This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
[00:13.66] The sun is going down, it's getting dark
[00:18.18] I realise I'm cold, the rain begins to pour
[00:22.94] As I watch the windows on the second floor
[00:28.70] The lights are on, it's time to go
[00:33.72] It's time at last, to let her know
[00:47.53] I believe it would be fair to say, "You look bewildered"
[00:57.05] And you wonder why I'm here today
[01:00.81] And so you should, I would
[01:06.58] When I left, I felt I've had enough
[01:10.59] But in the shape and form, I appear now
[01:16.36] I have learned to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now
[01:26.38] And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[01:31.15] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[01:35.91] I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
[01:40.17] I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
[01:45.18] I'm not the one you knew, I'm now, and then combined
[01:49.19] And I'm asking you to have an open mind
[01:55.48] I'm not the same this time around
[02:00.24] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[02:14.03] Will you leave me standing in the hall or let me enter?
[02:23.56] The apartment hasn't changed at all
[02:27.32] I've got to say, "I'm glad"
[02:32.83] Once these rooms were witness to our love
[02:36.59] My tantrums and increasing frustration
[02:42.85] But I go from mad, to not so bad
[02:45.36] In my transformation
[02:52.88] And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[02:57.39] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[03:02.41] I'm like a dream, within a dream, that's been decoded
[03:06.42] I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
[03:11.43] I am not the one you knew
[03:13.94] I'm now, and then combined
[03:15.94] And I'm asking you to have an open mind
[03:21.96] I'm not the same this time around
[03:26.47] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[03:29.73] You ask me not to leave
[03:33.24] Well, here I am again
[03:35.24] And I love you still and so I won't pretend
[03:42.52] I have learnt to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now
