I once believed it was
The right thing to do
Turn my eyes to the sun
And turn my back on you, let it go
One more backwards glance
To the life I had
Must keep moving forward
But it doesn't feel right
Now regret flows through my veins
Torn so deep within
How cold my blood must be
To let a good thing end bittersweet
I am looking back to the night I loved
Want you to take me back there
But all the stars have gone out
She's in every little tear
And every little word I hear
She drove a stake through my heart
And it's the only thing I fear
I'm now a broken man
Trying just to understand
I gave her the world
I was strong enough to be her man
And now there's only pain
How I fear the shadow of you
Following behind
On the edge of my steps
Hoping you might find, reasons for
Why this had to pass into history
Still can't bring myself to believe
That this love is at end
She's in every little tear
And every little word I hear
She drove a stake through my heart
And it's the only thing I fear
I'm now a broken man
Trying just to understand
I gave her the world
I was strong enough to be her man
And now there's only pain
I'll remember you
When the lights are fading
And when the winter nights are falling
I'll don the shroud of darkness once again
Determined not to let the vision end
She's in every little tear
And every little word I hear
She drove a stake through my heart
And it's the only thing I fear
I'm now a broken man
Trying just to understand
I gave her the world
I was strong enough to be her man
And now there's only pain
