Lyrics
Don't let me close my eyes tonight
For if I do I'm afraid that you'll be gone
I tried so hard to hold on but you seemed to slip away
I always tried to tell you but the words got in my way
So don't let me close my eyes tonight
For if I do I'm afraid that you'll be gone
But memories will hold me after the darkest day
And the thought of missing you the teardrops'll wash away
But loneliness, it can be so cruel
It can take you down, break all the rules
Can't you see now you're alone
Yeah, loneliness, it can take control
Drive you mad inside your soul
Can't you see you're on your own
Someday you'll discover I was always by your side
Someday you'll uncover the feelings I had inside
But saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do
And the last thing I want to say to you
Yeah, saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do
But give me your hand and I'll pull you through
Someday you'll understand it was always within you
Someday you'll understand it will always continue
But saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do
And the last thing that I want to say to you
Yeah, saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do
But give me your hand and I'll pull you through
