(dramatic synth-rock music)

♪ Here we stand ♪

♪ Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two ♪

♪ Sleepless nights ♪

♪ Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you ♪

♪ Feeling that it's gone ♪

♪ Can't change your mind ♪

♪ If we can't go on ♪

♪ To survive the tide ♪

♪ Love divides ♪

♪ Someday love will find you ♪

♪ Break those chains that bind you ♪

♪ One night will remind you ♪

♪ How we touched and went our separate ways ♪

♪ If he ever hurts you ♪

♪ True love won't desert you ♪

♪ You know I still love you ♪

♪ Though we touched and went our separate ways ♪

(dramatic synth-rock music continues)

♪ Troubled times ♪

♪ Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain ♪

♪ Distant eyes ♪

♪ Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain ♪

♪ If you must go ♪

♪ I wish you luck ♪

♪ You'll never walk alone ♪

♪ Take care, my love ♪

♪ Miss you, love ♪

♪ Someday love will find you ♪

♪ Break those chains that bind you ♪

♪ One night will remind you ♪

♪ How we touched and went our separate ways ♪

♪ If he ever hurts you ♪

♪ True love won't desert you ♪

♪ You know I still love you ♪

♪ Though we touched and went our separate ways ♪

(dramatic synth-pop music continues)

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Someday love will find you ♪

♪ Break those chains that bind you ♪
