Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I've been pushing stones away far from these shores I pretend that it's all OK Til on the brink of what can't be adored [Chorus] We survive Well we can change So let it fade Just let it go We pretend so nothing does change We're flowers never breaking through the stone. I pretended and prayed it all away, searching for a place to hide But I don't need afflicted memories to fade, I just want to feel something real inside. [Chorus] I've been pushing stones away Far from these shores I.. Pretend that it's all OK Til on the brink of what (can be endured) [Chorus: x2]
