Unfold Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
Am I blind?
You move your hand away from mine
And I don't take it as a sign
That you're any less than mine

[Chorus 1: Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft & Both]
Oh, it doesn't move me to be cold
It doesn't lessen my hold
You know our time meant all

Oh, let it unfold
I won't leave it untold
The feeling goes on and on and on


[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
In my head
You tell me things you've never said
And I choose to forget
I take the good and leave the rest


[Chorus 2: Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft & Both]
Oh, the illusion's getting old
And you don't answer when I call
I would have given you it all

Oh, out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't mean you're not mine

The feeling goes on and on and on

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 [?]
