Better to have loved
Ohhhhh
Better to have loved
Oooooooh
If the sun
Went down tomorrow
And never came back
And the city went quiet
And we fade to black
Well i won't have
A single regret
And i wouldn't trade
A thing
'Cause I never knew
I could feel what
I feel inside of me
Chorus:
Better to have loved
Than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed
Than never taken the fall
Better to have held you
And let you in
Than never to have
Touched your skin
Better to have hurt
And screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth
For a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
You
I knew all the time
I was taking a chance
When I stand there
At the edge of a cliff
And no one
Was holding my hand
Well the wind blew strong
And the clouds
Rolled in and
I felt us
Lift off the ground
Yes, I beared my soul
And I dared to go knowing
One day you might
Let me down, oh
(Chorus)
I gave you everything
But you have said goodbye
Ohhh, said goodbye
Better to have loved
Than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed
Than never taken the fall
Better to have held you
And let you in
Than never to have
Touched your skin
Better to have hurt
And screamed and cried
Fallen to the Earth
For a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
(Better to have loved)
Better to have loved
(Better to have loved)
You
Ooohhhh
