On Reflection Lyrics

In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection now it doesn't matter
How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else
Who can say it right now it's finished over
It's my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling
Different ways of life can never even
Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the
Same way as I came and went I tried to remember you

Still, you stay, tied in your way
Changing times, watching the signs
How could you see in me what you thought about
All you want me to be
Now, on reflection
Why should have I changed my ways for you
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around

Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all
It seems it's just an experience
Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able
Understanding still, not anything different
Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long
Gone, on reflection now it's just an experience
Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended, as I
Come and go I'll try to remember you
Still, you stay, tied in your way
Changing times, watching the signs
How
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around

I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away
I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away

Look back it's not your game, together just in name

I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away
I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away
I'll remember the good things how can you forget
All the years that we shared in our way
Things were changing my life, taking your place
In my life and our time drifting away
All around all around, all around all around

All around all around, all around all around

All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around

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 [?]
