I Thought You Were Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I grow and unfold there are many sides to the soul
And not just one
I thought you was dead
Content with my own thoughts in my own head
That's because I thought you was dead

[Refrain]
And it was so nice, so nice
It's all been, it's all been so nice
It's been so...

[Verse 2]
Happy now, open wide, everything in it's place and time
Now it's mine - I hoped you was dead
Genial to the last, leave the past in the past
This means you - I thought you was dead

[Refrain]
And it was so nice, so nice
It's all been, it's all been so nice, nice
It's been...
It's all been so nice, it's all been so..

[Verse 3]
Freedom now, never gloom, happiness all afternoon
Can't you get this in your thick head?
Sorrow gone, peace won, five words spurred me on
I thought you was dead
[Refrain]
And it was so nice, so nice
It's all been so nice
It was so nice, so nice, so...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
