He's gone
You've lost
Stay behind
and count the cost
You try
You loose
You don't fall in love by chance
You choose

It's a decision
made overtime
Should you take the risk
and start to clim
the steepest hill
only to find
halfway there you've been
left behind

Choosing to love
is risking a lot
and trying to change
and to keep all you've got
But don't pretend
it comes out of the blue
You take a chance
and see it through
and if it's refused
what can you do?
Continue hopefully?
Start a new

Lick your wounds
Buy your booze
You won't get drunk by accident
You choose
Don't blame him
for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love
You did

Learn the lesson
Take the blows
You didn't fall in love by chance
You chose
Play the sad songs
Sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance
You chose
