Even if I told you
It's like I see my whole life

Even if I told you I know you won't believe
It's like I see my whole life
Flashing right before me
So even if I told you
It's like I see my whole life

[Repeat: x34]
Flashing right

Even if I told you I know you won't believe
It's like I see my whole life
Flashing right before me
So even if I told you I know you won't believe
It's like I see my whole life
Flashing right before me

It's like I see my whole life
It's like I see my whole life

So even if I told you
It's like I see my whole life
[Repeat: x19]
Flashing right

Before me!

(Me)

So even if I told you
It's like I see my whole life

It's like I see my
