I can relate the story of my life.
No brighter hope, no stronger emotion.
And I believed I could die over you.
How you could ever
break down and never see me through,
through my darkest night.
And as I lie awake,
one prayer within me burning.
And there’s no price on what you hold till it’s gone,
then it keeps moving on.
Where is my heart?
You know I will be waiting to be a part of you
and never feel the pain.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had with you.
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with, with you.
With you.
So we agree to let each other go.
No long goodbye.
Just your way and my way.
And I can stand how you cried to be free.
High as the wind blows,
but not enough to bring you home to me.
And only lonely knows.
You see my open arms.
You know my flame is burning.
But I’m too blind to see the end has begun.
And it keeps moving on.
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with you.
The only love.
No use in me pretending
to be a part of you
and you the heart of me.
How can you say to me that I should go on living?
I left the only life I had
with you.
The only love.
One love that will not die.
You may be sorry that I built my world around you.
The only love
is only you and I.
There will be others who would leave you as I found you.
The only love.
One love that will not die….
