you took my life away

it's very clear

with no more tears

i've had to face up to the truth

this i fear

you've left me here

with the mistakes made in my youth

but i'll be strong-though it seems wrong

i just go on wanting your love

there's nothing left for me to say

i've watched my dreams all fade away

i won't hold on to something gone

i'll bear the pain another day

without a clue i've played the fool

and now i realize that

you-you took my life away

you-you took my heart away from me oh

oh

oh

i'll sing the same familiar song

but can't bear to be alone

i won't hold on to something gone

i'll bear the pain another day

without a clue i've played the fool

and now i realize that

you-you took my life away

you-you took my heart away from me oh

oh

oh
