You're living your life
In somebody else's heart
My love is as strong
As oceans are far apart
A summer song keeps playing in my brain
And I feel you and I see your face again
There's no escape
I lost everything in losing you
Ah, I wish you were here
Dryin' these tears I cry
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Calling my name
Cause you're dealing with a man insane
Cause how hopelessly I'm lost
Tried to throw your love away
And I can't let go
And so I awake
In somebody else's dreams
(It's not what it seems) it's only a lie
I've yet to decide who's real
The blood red rose, that love will never die
It'll burn like a flame in the dark of the night
I'm not afraid
I'd give everything, and if you hear me there
Ah, I wish you were here
Dryin' these tears I cry
They were good times
But at that time of year for being alone
Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone
Tried to kiss and say goodbye
Tried to throw our love away
And that storm will blow
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone
Tried to kiss and say goodbye
Tried to throw our love away
And I can't let go
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
