Justify
The Rasmus
Struggling with Justify? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
So close, so far, I'm lost in time Ready to follow a sign, if there was only a sign. The last goodbye burns in my mind, why did I leave you behind? I guess it was too high to climb. [Chorus:] Give me a reason, why would you want me to live and die? Living a lie You were the answer, all that I needed to justify, Justify my life. Someone as beautiful as you, Could be much better, it's true, That didn't matter to you I tried so hard to be the one, its something I couldn't do I guess I was under the gun [Chorus] It's over now, I should go and find myself Before I go and lose someone else. So close, so far, I'm lost in time, Ready to follow a sign, if there was only a sign [Chorus] It's over now, And I should go and find myself Before I go and lose someone else
