All that time I was searching, with nowhere to run to, it started me thinking,

Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting,

Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers,

Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening,

All this time, I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



So listen, listen to me,

Ooh you must believe me,

I can feel your eyes go thru me,

But I don't know why.



Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe

It's the way that you're leaving,

It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault,

I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to

I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you,

All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh

There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



So listen, listen to me,

I can feel your eyes go thru me



It seems I've spent too long

Only thinking about myself - oh

Now I want to spend my life Just caring bout somebody else.



Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep.



You know I love you, but I just can't take this,

You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps,

Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this,

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
