A love song, you must have heard a thousand times
How can mine compare
For so long I’ve wondered if I’m lost behind
A thousand tongues there, a thousand tongues there

It’s all been done before, but I’ll do it again
Cause I know that you want me to
It’s all been said before, but I’ll say it again
Cause I know that you love to hear it from me

I see all the ways I don’t add up
And all that I never did
But you seek empty hands still lifted up
With nothing to give, nothing to give

It’s all been done before, but I’ll do it again
Cause I know that you want me to
It’s all been said before, but I’ll say it again
Cause I know that you love to hear it from me

More beautiful to you
Than the songs of angels and gifts of kings
More beautiful to you
Are what empty hands can bring
And what desperate tongues can sing
And when broken hearts cling to you

It’s all been done before, but I’ll do it again
Cause I know that you want me to
It’s all been said before, but I’ll say it again
Cause I know that you love to hear it from me
