[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a miracle
To give up my hope
And get on with my life
Oh, that mystic moment
A split-second stop of my heart
And with this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
'Cause this so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
[Verse 1:]
Baby, whatever did I do
(I do, I do, I do)
To make you not only turn away
But turn
Oh, so far away
Never considering turning back
I need you to know I'll never smile
Until we reconcile
(Until we reconcile)
I know now
That that won't happen
Somehow I'll try and cope
But I just can't get out of my head
That glimmer of hope
Everybody tells me
I need time away from you
But you're the only thing in my world
And that's the last thing I wanna do
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Verse 2:]
Baby, whatever did I do
To make you not only go away
But twist every word I say
To make the tables turn
VERSE 4:
You're saying
I'm the one who's at the core
Yes, I'm the one
Who glanced at the door
(Oh, slammed the door)
But you're the one
Who turned the handle
Tried to burn the candle at both ends
At both ends you lead me
On and on and on
You really, really took me
Now you've left
My mind is gone (when you left)
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
It's easy to give advice
When your heart's not in it
But the best thing for me to do
Is let go
But somehow I get lonely
It's hard to stand and face the crowd
Doing a one-woman show
[Repeat Chorus x3 w\ad-libs:]
Tragedy
Doo
Who says it's a miracle?
(Who says it's a miracle?)
Who says it's a miracle?
This so-called miracle
Is really not a miracle
Who says it's a miracle?
Not me
Not me
This so-called miracle
This so-called miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
To give up my hope
And get on with my life
Oh, that mystic moment
A split-second stop of my heart
And with this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
'Cause this so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
[Verse 1:]
Baby, whatever did I do
(I do, I do, I do)
To make you not only turn away
But turn
Oh, so far away

Until we reconcile
(Until we reconcile)
I know now
That that won't happen
Somehow I'll try and cope
But I just can't get out of my head
That glimmer of hope
Everybody tells me
