It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel tonight Sometimes love just slips out of sight Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above The years go by There's always someone new To try and help me forget about you Time and again, it does me no good Love never feels the way that it should I loved you then, I guess I'll love you forever And even though I know we could never stay together I'll think of how it could have been If we could just start all over again And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel today Sometimes love just slips away Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above Repeat Chorus and fade
