What went wrong
I was so sure that love had led me to
Your door
Was it a dream, nothing more
Inside my head
I keep hearing all the tender words we said
Who were they for
We are strong
We can hold on to each other if we try
And make it right, for you and I
There's no goodbyes
Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight
Life is a change
But I never want to leave this love behind
We've come too far to lose this time
Where there's love
There is nothing strong enough to come
Between
What we believe
And break us up where there is love
Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight
Only the fool survives
Even the hardest times
Let all the love we share
Keep us alive
See your eyes in a million faces
See your smile in a thousand places
And I never escape your memories
You'd be there everywhere that I go
You're the only real thing I know
And I never wanted to be free
Stay here with me
Only the fool survives
Only the heart provides
Sweet love and tenderness
Save us tonight
