Lyrics
You Took My Life Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's very clear, with no more tears
I've had to face up to the truth
This i fear, you've left me here
With the mistakes made in my youth
But i'll be strong-though it seems wrong
I just go on wanting your love
There's nothing left for me to say
I've watched my dreams all fade away
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue i've played the fool
And now i realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
I'll sing the same familiar song
But can't bear to be alone
I won't hold on to something gone
I'll bear the pain another day
Without a clue i've played the fool
And now i realize that
You-you took my life away
You-you took my heart away from me oh, oh, oh
