I don’t want to talk
About things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it'll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, calls my name I remember you're the reason I have to stay
How I needed you How I grieve now you're gone In my dreams I see you I awake so alone I know you didn't want to leave Your heart yearned to stay But the strength I always loved in you Finally gave way Somehow I knew you would leave me this way Somehow I knew you could never, never stay And in the early morning light After a silent peaceful night You took my heart away And my being In my dreams I can see you I can tell you how I feel In my dreams I can hold you And it feels so real I still feel the pain I still feel your love I still feel the pain I still feel your love And somehow I knew you could never, never stay And somehow I knew you would leave me And in the early morning light After a silent peaceful night You took my heart away Oh I wish, I wish you could have stayed
