All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me thinking
Wondering what I could make of my life, who'd be waiting
Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers
Crying at the top of my voice, 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
You must believe me
I can feel your eyes go thru me
But I don't know why

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
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
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
