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.
I don't wanna hear about
The tears you cried and all the smiles I missed
I don't wanna think about
The wasted days, the years that flew away
Cause I got you now
There in front of me
Cause you are here with me
I don't want to let you go
And keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away
For another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one
The one that got away
I don't wanna let it slip
Gonna(I'll) get a grip and hold on to this day
I don't wanna miss a beat
I'll stop to breathe if this is what it takes to...
Stop the world now
Stop for you and me
I don't want to let you go
And keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away
For another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one
The one that got away
I don't wanna think about
Or know about
The stories and the memories
I don't care about the times without
You by my side
I don't want to let you go
And keep on waiting
I don't wanna let you stay away
For another eternity
I'm not gonna step aside and turn my back
And let you be the one
The one that got away
