Rhythms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mad in a way, but I don't say
It's what you're used to, got the words, but can't convey
I know you'll turn it all around

It's the rhythm that you're goin' through
Get it back and you're not obliged to say
Not intact, but you're better off anyway
Somehow, it's never up to me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What if I would say simple words, I can't relate
I don't place upon your view
It's the rhythm that you're goin' through

[Chorus]
I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say

[Post-Chorus]
Since you found me out
Since you found me out
Since you found me out
Since you found me out
[Verse 2]
Your story still remains
It's so unlike you, still, you stay the same
But all the while, you're counting on your day to come
But nothin' ever told you
You would say that it's only for a day
Yesterday's last week, tomorrow's on its way
I'm falling faster all the time

[Pre-Chorus 2]
What if I would say
Simple words, I can't relate
What came easy's now too late
And it was always standing right in front of me

[Chorus]
'Cause I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say

[Bridge]
All the time you thought worth saving
Still ends up with memories fading
After all that you wouldn't do
It makes no sense, it's the rhythm that you're goin' through
[Chorus]
I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say
I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say

[Post-Chorus]
Since you found me out
Since you found me out
Since you found me out
Since you found me out

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 [?]
