Lyric Haven t We Been Here Before

Written by Tommy Shaw

Haven t we been here before
Footsteps lead down to the note on the door
That says I can t stay here anymore

And haven t we felt this same way
Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same
To say I can t stay one minute more

You might think that it s hopeless
Beyond our control
But that s not necessarily so
Can t you see there s a chance
For the daring young soul
Who s finally learned to say no

No, I won t be misused
Ignored or refused
And I won t just give up and let go

So tonight hold me close to you
And don t give up what s important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing can stand in our way

And I believe if we learn from the past
We d find keys to unlock every door
Dark would turn into light
We d be strong
We d be right

So tonight hold me close to you
And don t give up what s important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing will stand in our way

And I believe if we learn from the past
We d say haven t we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts
We d find keys to unlock every door
Hearts could change overnight
We d be strong...We d be right
So stay with me now
The future is ours
And we ll be the ones who go on
