Just before the lights went out

We sat up and talked about

All the things that we would be

I just wanted him to be with me

But he had a mind of his own

And he did not mind being alone

Left me there in our little world

Left me there like a little girl

He said don't get hung up

Hang ups will get you down

He said don't look back

Look up and then look around

That time I was feeling high

Like I never had to try

To kick myself up out of bed

Kick these worries out of my head

He said it's better this way, yeah

One day you'll understand

He said I'm leavin' today and

He let go of my hand

I know that I'll never see him again

I feel the same way that I saw him then

I know that when I get back on my feet

I will walk away from misery

What do you say when it's all been said

How do you feel when it's all been felt

Where do you go when it's all gone

And you don't care enough to carry on

Well, I say close your eyes

Look down deep inside

Someone is there for you

Someone who cares for you

Well, I know it's easier to say then do

Easier to look away than see it through

I know it's easier to think than feel

Easier to make it up than make it real

Oh it's hard to love

Oh it's hard not to love

Oh it's hard to love

Oh it's hard not to love

Oh now take me ther don't leave me here (x2)

Oh take me home and disappear

Oh oh oh no no no no no no
