When you came to me
You said love could not erase
The ever-present memory
Of another face

I tried to make you love me
How could I be so blind
To think I'd be the one
To change your mind

And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if it's right or wrong
I've waited for you too long

And if I can't hold on
I'm gone

When you came to me
I said love will find a way
For every heart that leaves
Another heart will stay

I guess you couldn't see
As the shadows in the night
It seems the time for us
Just wasn't right

And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if it's right or wrong
I've waited for you too long

And if I can't hold on
I'm gone
