Sorry I know I'm late Guess I lost all track of time Started walking and couldn't stop Turning it over in my mind Trying to make some sense of it Trying to make the pieces fit I thought I covered my tracks so well But now he says he knew about it from the start Yeah he knew about us all along If there was any other way love Don't you think I've tried to find it Don't you think I want to stay If there was any other way love There's no way out of this There just ain't any other way Maybe I'd better be leaving now But there's something I want you to understand before I go Sometimes we don't have a choice when we play and break the rules I just had to see you darlin', one more time If only just to say good-bye 'Cos he knew about us all the time If there was any other way love Don't you think I've tried to find it Don't you think I want to stay If there was any other way love There's no way out of this There just ain't any other way I never wanted it to be like this I never meant to get serious But now the thought of losing you Takes some getting used to If there was any other way love Don't you think I've tried to find it Don't you think I want to stay If there was any other way love There's no way out of this There just ain't any other way If there was any other way love Don't you think I've tried to find it Don't you think I want to stay If there was any other way love

When I see myself, I'm seeing you too As long as I remember it, I'm feeling like I knew That my jokes aren't funny, the truth isn't true If there was no you If you were my boat in the deep blue sea I'd probably sink you down I know I should have thanked you for carrying me But for you I would happily drown All along your way The darkest night, the longest day I know what to say to make you laugh And nothing you could do Could make me turn my back on you When you're looking for a fight, I'm your man When you need a friend, you got my hand What I really mean, what I'm trying hard to say is that I'm counting on you, and you got me too My secrets aren't safe, I'm singing out of tune If there was no you, if there was no you All along your way The darkest night, the longest day I know what to say to make you laugh And nothing you could do Could make me turn my back on you When you're looking for a fight I'm your man When you need a friend, you got my hand When you need a friend, you got my hand You got my hand

If I showed up to your wedding Wearing black and blue and red Wouldn't it seem fitting Cause I'm as bruised and angry as I've ever been. There was a time when I called you, There was a time when I called you mine. This old house is cold and empty Even these old walls have been. I laid down. You're not with me. Waking up just seems a sin. There was a time when I called you, There was a time when I called you mine. There's no gold on either side of the Mississippi, No silver left in this world to find. Precious metal and precious memories Slip away, slip away from your finger and your mind. There was a time when I called you, There was a time when I called you mine.

I couldn't change your heart I couldn't change your mind So I just have to learn to live with This empty life you've left behind You didn't try to hear You didn't try to see No you just stared right through the teardrops Like there was nothing left of me Nothing but sorrow Nothing but pain Nothing but memories that whisper your name, yeah Nothing but sadness Nothing but fear Nothing but silence heard around here Bridges were burned Lessons were learned Promises made that were broken Tender lies so softly spoken (Spoken) You didn't try to hear You didn't try to see You just stared right through the teardrops Like there was nothing left of me Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow) Nothing but pain (nothing) Nothing but memories that whisper your name Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness) Nothing but fear (nothing) Nothing but silence heard around here Heard around here Nothing but sorrow (nothing but sorrow) Nothing but pain (nothing) Nothing but memories that whisper your name Whisper your name Nothing but sadness (nothing but sadness) Nothing but fear (nothing) Nothing but silence heard around here Heard around here I couldn't change your heart

If I had a waterfall We wouldn't wonder, not at all How much fun each day was gonna be If I had a mountain top I know we would never stop Climbing way high up to look and see If I had a jellyfish I betcha we would never miss A single peanut butter kiss or squeeze If I had a waterfall It might not make no sense at all But that won't matter much to you and me Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had a big giraffe That tried to dance and made us laugh Every smile and giggle would be free If I had a big moonlight We'd turn it back on every night Just so the dark could try and get some sleep If I had a rocket ship We'd go places really quick Then have the time to stop and get ice cream If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had an everything We could stand out in the rain And only feel the drops we wanted to If I had a wonderful We could play out in the snow And never have to wear our socks and shoes If I had a pot of luck I wouldn't have to spend a buck And get all the stuff we needed for a sneeze If I had an everything We wouldn't get wet in the rain And ridin' waterfalls would be a breeze If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat

If I could I'd take us back To where we were When we didn't need to be Anyplace but deep inside The moment love first came to life and see There's a way lost hope can lead To help find that memory Baby if you just believe A yearning heart can Teach us how Regret is hope We haven't learned to see Even in the total dark I know we can find a spot with dreams The first step back up off the ground Is letting go of what held us down And then just to believe... Words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe If I could I'd take us back To when our hearts were both boldly free But words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe, believe Believe, believe Believe, yeah words Can just get in the way When all I ever meant to say is Believe!
