I remember a time
when you held your head high
and saved lives you try,
you try to bring back
that person that kept us all alive
They say they don't need anyone to rely on
but you saved them all once or twice back then
it's true what they say,
you don't know how good you've got it
till it's gone... Where have you gone!
Why can't you get back what you had?
was it something that we did back then?
(Chorus)
It could happen to any of us
we'd all act the same
you try to bring back
that person that kept us all alive
now watch as they feed
All of them will be taking
credit for your actions it's not right
Watch Them Feed!
They're gonna take you alive!
It's not right!
Where have you gone
Why can't you get back what you had?
you say it's all too much to take
tell me why can't you get back what you had?
was it something that we did back then?
Ready! Incoming!
They'll take you down alive!
Could i find everything that i was looking for
in all the wrong places
We know you're there so don't pretend that its over
Over!
(Chorus)
It could happen to any of us
we'd all act
You try to bring back what i had now
It could happen to any of us
