I tried to win your heart That's when I lost my head I should have saved up all of my feelings But I squandered them instead And in one fragile moment I could almost see Just how things might have changed for better I guess what is, was meant to be Now I know, it's gonna take some time to let you go, oh Maybe tomorrow, my heart will mend Maybe tomorrow, we'll be friends Maybe tomorrow, who's to say? But tonight, it seems like tomorrow, is so far away, oh yeah Tell me what can I do To fill the space that once held you? I see your face in every corner, hear your voice in every room And I know this feeling is the ghost of all our tears Will you be hauntin' me forever and ever? I know I don't think that I can let you go, no Maybe tomorrow, my heart will mend Maybe tomorrow, we'll be friends Maybe tomorrow, who's to say? But tonight, it seems like tomorrow is so far away, hey What am I gonna do without you, baby Since you've been gone? Ooh Maybe tomorrow, my heart will mend Maybe tomorrow, we'll be friends Maybe tomorrow, who's to say? But tonight, it seems like tomorrow, is so far away, yeah Maybe tomorrow Maybe tomorrow Maybe tomorrow, who's to say? Hey! But tonight, it seems like tomorrow is so far away Oh no, there's just no way that I can let you go, no

I'm all alone, when the sun, goes down What I wouldn't give, to have someone around The nights are endless, and dreams, are few But when they come, well they never come true And so it goes No one even knows, the pain behind the smile How all the while I'm cryin' SAVE ME... SOMEONE SAVE ME SAVE ME... SOMEONE SAVE ME 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN SAVIN' MYSELF FOR HER TOO LONG' IT'S TIME I'M MOVIN' ON Won't you save me? Too many memories in this, old town My face turned up to meet the rain.the rain that's fallin' down Let it come And so it goes That no one even knows, the pain behind the smile How all the while I'm dyin' (CHORUS) Won't you save me? Are you gonna be the one to make it right, or am I only dreamin' Baby am I dreamin'?...Am I dreamin'? No one even knows, the pain behind the smile Whoooooh... baby, baby, baby, baby-they don't know They don't know... that I'm cryin' all the while All the while Somebody save me... save me Save me... somebody save me (Mm Mm) Save me... save me Save me... someone save me 'Cause I've been saving myself for her too long It's time I'm movin' on Won't you save me... save me Can't you see... that I've been lonely? (CHORUS to fade)
