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 so blind
to think i'd be the one
to change your mind.

(chorus)
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 to 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
past the shadows in the night
it seems that time for us just
wasn't right.

Repeat chorus
