Chorus:
There was i
Taking every step for you
There was i
Taking every breath for you
And all the time you were with her
I loved you
I spurred you on
Never wanting for myself
Adored you
For what i don't know
Cos you were loving someone else
And now you're spitting in my face
Telling me that someone else
Has taken my place
Chorus
Important
Oh how important you were to me
Eternal
That's what i thought our love would be
But now you're spitting in my face
Telling me that someone else
Has taken my place
Chorus
And now you're spitting in my face
Telling me that someone else
Has taken my place
Chorus (x 3)
