Still on My Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rolling seas, endless roads heading into the sun
Big skies, bigger dreams, enough for everyone
I was brave, free of love, I wanted to travel alone
We were born in the light, I'm sorry I remembered it wrong

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm sorry that I broke you down
I'm sorry that I thought it through
I'm sorry that I looked and ran
I couldn't keep up good enough

[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind

[Verse 2]
The sun began to burn too bright
I saw myself in the light
I opened the door and lost the dream
And couldn't go back inside
I took a road that led nowhere
I didn't know that then
But I made my choice
Now I've gone too far to come back here again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm sorry that I let you down
I'm sorry that I lost the way
I'm sorry that I died and then came alive
I couldn't keep up

[Chorus]
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
Well, I've run so far, you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind

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 [?]
