That's something

I wipe the tears from your eyes.

Say nothing and still you seem so surprized.

Though tears fall like rain

it's gone too far.

Keep saying

it's time to break it -

The tears and the pain and the tears and the pain.

This music keeps running through my head now

ooh.

I'm climbing out

I'm drifting away from you.

Aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah - my heart

Aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah -

and now I find a second time.

There's nothing

nothing I would not give for you.

No feelings is all I have to show now

ooh.

Don't say who's to blame

is this still a game for you?

Aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah - my heart

. . .

Aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah - my heart

Aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah - just send my heart

aaaaah.

Give me time to care
The moment's here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you?
Could I lie to you?
I'm just too weak to face the truth
Now I know, I should make a move
What more can I say?
How can I fall? How can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
When all faith is gone
I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do
What more can I say to you?
Now I hold this line
I know the choice to leave is mine
I can't help what I feel inside
What more can I say?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
I'll follow through, I'll say I do
When the time is far more right for you
I'll make that move and when I do
Will I doubt again the way I do?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall? I fall, I fall
How can I fall for you?
How can I fall? How can I fall? (How can I fall?)
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
