It's over and done
But the heart ache lives on inside
And who is the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow where ever you go
I cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You’ll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart it's just emotion taking me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back, come home to me darlin’
You know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight

I'm there at your side
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You go to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow where ever you go
I cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart it's just emotion taking me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back, come home to me darlin’
You know there’s nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow where ever you go
I cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart it’s just emotion taking me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back, come home to me darlin'
You know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
