Well, we talked all night
Trying to make things right
I can't believe it's gone
Had it all worked out
In the morning doubts
Had it all go wrong
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
Go on and find yourself
Through someone else
See if I held you wrong
Well, I'm afraid I can't leave you tonight
Had it once
But it should have been twice
Slow down boy
You're driving me crazy
I'm not a kid anymore
I guess I never was then
And I try and I try to move on
I guess there's something inside that keeps holding on
And I try and I try to move on
Well, we talked all night
Tried to make things right
Can't believe it's gone
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
Well, I'm afraid I can't leave you tonight
We had it once
And it should have been right
Slow down boy
You're driving me crazy
I'm not the one anymore
I guess I never was then
And I try and I try to move on
I guess there's something inside that keeps holding on
And I try and I try to move on
I guess there's something inside that keeps holding on
And I try and I try to move on
I guess there's something inside that keeps holding on
And I try and I try to move on
I guess there's something inside that keeps holding on
And I try and I try to move on
Nothing you do can break my heart
Why'd you have to go and fall apart
Nothing you do can break my heart
Why'd you have to go and fall apart now
I never wanted to hear
What you're saying now
Whenever there is a doubt
She comes crawling in
Whenever there is a doubt
She comes following
Nothing you do can break my heart
Why'd you have to go
And fall apart now
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
You can't give up on him
It's just not the way that it goes
