All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to

It started me thinking

Wondering what I have could make of my life

And who'd be waiting?

Asking all kinds of questions to myself

But never finding the answers

Crying at the top of my voice, no one listening

All this time, I still remember everything you said, ah-ha

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget?

Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep

So listen, listen to me

Ooh, you must believe me

I can feel your eyes go through me

But I don't know why

Ooh, I know you're going, but I can't believe

It's the way that you're leaving

It's like we never knew each other at all

It may be my fault

I gave you too many reasons, being alone

When I didn't want to

I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you

All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh-ho

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget?

Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep

So listen, listen to me

I can feel your eyes go through me

It seems I've spent too long

Only thinking about myself, oh-oh

Now I want to spend my life

Just caring 'bout somebody else

Now listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep

You know I love you, but I just can't take this

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep

(You know I love you, but I just) you know I love you, but I just can't take this

(But I just can't take this) you know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps

(You know I love you) although I need you, I'm not gonna make this

(You know I love you) you know I want to, but I'm in too deep

(You know I love you, girl) you know I love you, but I just can't take this

(I can't take this) you know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
