Out of love, there's nobody around, all I hear is the sound of a broken heart Out of time, no more waitin' for you Now the hurtin's through, and a new day starts And I feel a change in my life, I sailed into dark and endless nights And made it alive Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love Out of touch, with myself for so long, now a feelin' so strong comin' over me Down the line, there's a lesson I've learned You can love and get burned, if it has to be And I see a change in my life, and I'm not alone when I'm strong inside And I realize Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love And I feel a change in my life And I'm not alone when I'm strong inside and I realize Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love No it can't be your love, no it can't be your love No it can't be your love
