M. Bolton/D. James



For the first time, in such a long time

I've been feelin' there's some reason

To hold on through the night

And for the first time since you broke this heart of mine

I find myself believin'

It's really gonna be alright

Now you're askin' me to let you walk back into my life

Something I can't bring myself to do



'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you

Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end

Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you

I don't think that I could say goodbye again



I could trust you, but it's out of my hands

I once believed your promises

Believed in every word you said

I still love you but my heart won't take the chance

That all the pain I've left behind me

Might be waiting for me up ahead

Just remember it was you who walked right out of my life

No you don't know what I've been through



'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you

Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end

Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you

I don't think that I could say goodbye



I made a promise to myself

And this one I'm not gonna break

I've made it without you, and I'm not about to

Just turn around and make the same mistake



'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you

Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end

Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you

I don't think that I could say goodbye

I don't think I could say goodbye

I know that I can't say goodbye again
