(Swing Out Sister)

Another strange awakening

Another memory on its way

Another night in an empty room

Another thrown away day

How long

Must I go on fooling myself?

In a world of make-believe

Precious words

Are all that I have left to prove?

That I've nothing more left to lose

Precious words won't bring you back to me

Precious words won't bring you back to me

Loneliness says much more

Than a thousand words ever said

Conversations pass me by

I'm left with silence instead

How long must I go on fooling myself?

In a world of make-believe

Precious words

Are all that I have left to prove?

That I've nothing more left to lose

Precious words won't bring you back to me

Precious words won't bring you back to me

You left my world empty

Now there's nothing to say

Precious words

Won't bring you back to me...

How long

Must I go on fooling myself?

In a world of make-believe

Precious words

Are all that I have left to prove?

That I've nothing more left to lose

Precious words won't bring you back to me

Precious words won't bring you back to me

You left my world empty

Now there's nothing to say

Precious words

Won't bring you back to me
