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?
