It's very clear, with no more tears
I've had to face up to the truth
This I fear, you've left me here
With the mistakes made in my youth
But I'll be strong-though it seems wrong
I just go on wanting your love
There's nothing left for me to say
I've watched my dreams all fade away
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool
And now I realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
I'll sing the same familiar song
But can't bear to be alone
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool
And now I realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
I've had to face up to the truth
This I fear, you've left me here
With the mistakes made in my youth
But I'll be strong-though it seems wrong
I just go on wanting your love
There's nothing left for me to say
I've watched my dreams all fade away
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool
And now I realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
I'll sing the same familiar song
But can't bear to be alone
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue I've played the fool
And now I realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
