[Verse 1]
Crying on the corner
Waiting in the rain
I swear I will never ever wait again
You gave me your word
But words for you are lies

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Darling in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But it’s time to let you know

[Chorus]
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna turn and leave you here

[Verse 2]
All of my life I’ve been waiting in the rain
I’ve been waiting for a feeling that never ever came
It feels so close but always disappears

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Darling in your wildest dreams
You never had it good
But it’s time you’ve got the news

[Chorus]
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna turn and leave you here

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Darling in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But it’s time to you know

[Chorus]
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna turn
And leave you here

[Outro]
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
Oh oh oh oh
Harden my heart
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
Oh oh oh oh
Harden my heart
I’m gonna harden my heart
