I Was There
Lakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was there
I was there when the ground was shaking
I was there
I was there and my soul was breaking

I won't be shaking now
Yes, I won't be breaking now
Yes, I can't be shaking now
Yes, I can't be breaking now

I was there
I was there when the fire was burning
I was there
I was there when he kept us turning

But I won't be burning
Yes, I won't be turning now
Yes, I can't be shaking now
Yes, I cant be breaking now

I was there
I was there when you were sinking
I was there
I was there when you were forsaken
But you won't be sinking
Yes, you won't be forshaken now
Yes, you can't be shaking now
Yes, you can't be breaking now

Yes, you won't be shaking




Won't be breaking
Won't be forsaken now
