Lately I feel so alone can't find the joy You know that Id be with you now If I had the choice I know I hurt you when I said goodbye And I don't know the reason I ever stopped believin I never needed anyone but you CHORUS I was too blind to see When you belonged to me You were my everything Now Id give anything To feel the love you bring You were my everything They say time can mend a broken heart Can fix you up But my life will never ever be the same Without your touch I know you're still afraid to let me in And I don't blame you really I wouldn't let you see me I took for granted you would always be there CHORUS I know I hurt you when I said goodbye And I don't know the reason I ever stopped believin I never needed anyone but you CHORUS
