when there's no more looking back

and you feel you've loved in vain

you try and hide your sorrow

now you're alone again

so you block out your emotion

laugh it off and carry on

sayin' why do I have to feel this way

was loving you so wrong



if I could only turn around

one more time for old time's sake

I'd pick up all the pieces

from the mistakes I made

did I give myself completely

or did I hang on for too long

ah, but what's the use of me talking this way

now that you're gone



no looking back, it's over now

all over now

I tell myself I'm glad

it's over now

all over now

it's over now



but if I ever love again

oh, I won't be played a fool

I'll put in my performance

this time I'll know the moves

it's not that I'm feeling bitter

I've no bitterness to show

and all I'm really trying to say

is that I wish I'd never let you go
