Standing here I can see you, wishing that it could be
A secret love together, alone just you and me
But will it ever happen, only time could tell
So say good night, and say goodbye, and I wish you well...

Something here attracts you, but I'm too blind to know
Everything you're feeling, I only see what you show
So hold me, touch me and make me scream them let me go away
Back to a world of emptiness, I can't stand to feel this way

Chorus:
Love'em and lose'em, it happens all the time
Too scared to stay, they all run away, and leave their tears behind...

Finally, you're next to me, time has brought us here
Then tomorrow, you'll turn away, another victim of fear
Can't we talk about this, love is all I've got to give
Don't go away, I need you today, girl you've got to believe

Chorus:
Love'em and lose'em, it happens all the time
Too scared to stay, they all run away, and leave their tears behind...

Solo

Find me someone who cares, someone who understands
I need someone who dreams, like me, I'm just a man

Standing here I can feel you, hating me inside
One night of lust, a lifetime of pain, a part of you has died
But will you ever love me again, only time could say
So say goodnight, say goodbye and go away...
