Lyrics
Verse 1:

Cause when you give and take your heart away,
You're making all the same mistakes.
It's the way life goes, its not about the high or low
Cause we try to change, but stay the same,
You'll always get your way, its about you.
Break:
What you said to me, did you really mean..
Honestly are you listening....? It's about...
