Great Romances of the 20th Century Lyrics

[Interlude]
You always come close but this never comes easy
I still know everything
You always come close but you never come easy
I still know everything
This always comes close but you never come easy
I still know everything
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...

[Bridge]
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You're coming in... you're coming close

[Chorus 2]
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
But I've crawled home from worse than this

[Post-Chorus]
If it's not keeping you up nights
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point
Then what’s the point

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
