As stories go
This one's been told
Another heart broken
Left out in the cold
With one variation
The difference this time
This one is mine

Since you've been gone
You've stolen my heart
As for the rest of me
I've fallen apart
In my desperation
My only prayer
Handle with care

'Cause I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

So in the end
You were the one
Something so right
Could never be wrong
Without hesitation
I'll tell you the truth
I'm still waiting for you

'Cause I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour

'Cause I don't know
What to do
Wasting my time
Wandering through
Wondering why
What's it all worth
It's worth everything
Yeah, my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah, my everything is you
It's worth everything (everything)
Yeah, my everything (everything)

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
