Additional lyrics

Verse 2
When your speech is slow
When your eyes are closed

When you feel betrayed
When your heart is 'fraid

When your feet are cold
When your sights are low

Vocal adlib at end
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I'll be the one
When you decide you've had enough
When you decide you've had enough
When you are set to throw it in
When you've had enough
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
When you're set to throw it in
Throw it in
Throw it in
