Maybe it's the wrong time
But when is the right time to say I lied
I've been keeping secrets
Could this be the last time we say goodbye

(Here we are)
Eye to eye no conversation
You know what I'm going to say
Eye to eye it's a sad situation
Girl have I thrown it all away

I was missing you, missing you
I needed someone to comfort me
When you closed the door baby
How could I know that I still had the key

Your love never thought that I would lose it
My love won't you tell me what it takes to prove it
All I want is your love

It's all up to you girl
I just couldn't keep it to myself
She was nothing to me
And you know in your heart
I don't want anyone else
