[Verse 1]
If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I held myself to blame
Time can erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one who's sad
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
[Verse 2]
Now that I'm alone it gives me time
To think about the years that you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found - Listen to me, baby
You know I can't hold you back now
Oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I held myself to blame
Time can erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one who's sad
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
[Verse 2]
Now that I'm alone it gives me time
To think about the years that you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found - Listen to me, baby
You know I can't hold you back now
Oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
