Lyrics

Have you never been happy
Just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

There was a day
When I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you

Now I don't mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried
To find a comfort from inside you?

Have you never been happy
Just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Have you never been mellow?
