|
i closed my eyes--a blind and cold-hearted fool,
|
last night i lost my mind and came so close to losing you
|
so close to losing you
|
misread your smile, misunderstood your tears,
|
ignored the pleading voice and every sigh
|
even your words of love i would not listen
|
|
it's a lesson i'll never forget
|
no communication gave rise to fear
|
tell me--who's to blame
|
|
what i really meant to tell you--i panicked,
|
'cause i would die if something happened to you
|
i'd die if something would...
|
|
but i'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion
|
that only now i recognize some of my cruel ways
|
some of my cruel ways
|
maybe it's good, maybe it was meant to be
|
there was no other way you could get through
|
now it's my turn to get through to you baby...
|
|
it's a lesson i'll never forget
|
no communication gave rise to fear
|
tell me--who's to blame
|
what i really meant to tell you--i need you
|
and i would die if something happened to you
|
i'd die if something would...
|
what i really meant to tell you--i love you
|
and i would die if something happened to you
|
i'd die if something would...
|
|
what i tried to tell you baby, what i tried to tell you darling
|
could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no...
|
if only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling
|
'cause i've been waiting for you honey, i've been waiting for you...
|
|
i closed my eyes--a blind and cold-hearted fool,
|
last night i lost my mind and came so close to losing you,
|
so close to losing you...
|
so close to losing you...
