She told you goodbye it was over you're through
It was nothin' you'd done she cast no blame she'd fallen out of love with you
And now you're alone in a world of solitude
You try to go on without her in your life there's nothin' you can do
When you love in vain it cuts you like a knife
Knowin' you'll never kiss her again never hold her for the rest of your life
And you try to be strong like a statue bear your pain
But there's no where to hide no where to turn when you love in vain
When you love in vain

It's time to go on time to find somebody new
You know in time your heart will heal but time goes so slow for you
You won't let it show you pretend there's nothing wrong
You make it alright till day turns to night oh the nights are so long
When you love in vain
[ guitar ]
When you love in vain
There's no where to hide no where to turn when you love in vain
