Don't Shut Me Down
[00:01.90] A while ago, I heard the sound of children's laughter
[00:05.16] Now it's quiet, so I guess they left the park
[00:10.93] This wooden bench is getting harder by the hour
[00:14.45] The sun is going down, it's getting dark
[00:18.97] I realise I'm cold, the rain begins to pour
[00:23.49] As I watch the windows on the second floor
[00:29.26] The lights are on, it's time to go
[00:34.78] It's time at last, to let her know
[00:48.33] I believe it would be fair to say
[00:51.84] You look bewildered
[00:57.87] And you wonder why I'm here today
[01:01.64] And so you should, I would
[01:06.91] When I left, I felt I've had enough
[01:10.92] But in the shape and form, I appear now
[01:16.94] I have learned to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now
[01:27.22] And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[01:31.99] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[01:36.75] I'm like a dream within a dream that's been decoded
[01:41.27] I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
[01:46.04] I'm not the one you knew,
[01:48.29] I'm now and then combined
[01:50.30] And I'm asking you to have an open mind
[01:55.82] I'm not the same this time around
[02:00.84] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[02:14.64] Will you leave me standing in the hall
[02:17.90] Or let me enter
[02:24.17] The apartment hasn't changed at all
[02:27.69] I've got to say, I'm glad
[02:33.46] Once these rooms were witness to our love
[02:37.22] My tantrums and increasing frustration
[02:43.74] But I go from mad, to not so bad
[02:46.00] In my transformation
[02:53.52] And now you see another me, I've been reloaded, yeah
[02:58.54] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[03:03.31] I'm like a dream, within a dream, that's been decoded
[03:07.57] I'm fired up, I'm hot, don't shut me down
[03:12.59] I am not the one you knew
[03:14.59] I'm now and then combined
[03:16.60] And I'm asking you to have an open mind
[03:22.37] I'm not the same this time around
[03:27.13] I'm fired up, don't shut me down
[03:30.64] You ask me not to leave
[03:33.65] Well, here I am again
[03:35.91] And I love you still and so I won't pretend
[03:43.18] I have learnt to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now
