my cruel ways

i closed my eyes - a blind and cold-hearted fool

last night i lost my mind and came so close to losing you

so close to losing you

misread your smile

misunderstood your tears

ignored the pleading voice and every sigh

even your words of love i would not listen

it's a lesson i'll never forget

no communication gave rise to fear

tell me - who's to blame

what i really meant to tell you - i panicked

'cause i would die if something happened to you

i'd die if something would. but i'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion

that only now i recognize some of my cruel ways

some of my cruel ways

maybe it's good

maybe it was meant to be

there was no other way you could get through

now it's my turn to get through to you baby. it's a lesson i'll never forget

no communication gave rise to fear

tell me - who's to blame

what i really meant to tell you - i need you

and i would die if something happened to you

i'd die if something would. what i really meant to tell you - i love you

and i would die if something happened to you

i'd die if something would. what i tried to tell you baby

what i tried to tell you darling

could not live without you honey

would not live without you

no. if only you were with me baby

if only you were with me darling

'cause i've been waiting for you honey

i've been waiting for you. i closed my eyes - a blind and cold-hearted fool

last night i lost my mind and came so close to losing you

so close to losing you. so close to losing you.
