On the Bound Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my life is on me now
Hail the pages turning

And the future's on the bound
Hell don't know my fury

[Chorus]
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, and maybe some faith would do me good

[Verse 2]
I don't know what I'm doing, don't know, should I change my mind?
I can't decide, there's too many variations to consider

No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do
It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter

[Verse 3]
Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time
Tell me you belong to me
Baby, say that it's all gonna be alright
I believe that it isn't

[Chorus]
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, and maybe some faith would do me good

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 [?]
