♪♪♪

♪ All the things I've felt and never shared ♪

♪ All the times that she was lonely with me there ♪

♪ Tears I wouldn't let fall from my eyes ♪

♪ And how I let her go without a fight ♪

♪ The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart ♪

♪ But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark ♪

♪ I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life ♪

♪ If love ever gives me another try ♪
