I talked to me and I told me you'd be leaving I made my plans to get up from the fall
I talked to me into thinkin' I could make it but oh it's dawned on me you're gone
It's like I didn't even talk to me or make any plans at all
It's like I died and lived and died again at least ten thousand times
When I realized all you left are these mem'ries in my mind
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone
It's like I didn't even talk to me or make any plans at all
It's like I died and lived and died again at least ten thousand times
When I realized all that you left are these mem'ries here in my mind
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone
It's like I didn't even talk to me or make any plans at all
Oh it's dawned on me you're gone

Hurt is no stranger to me and oh how well I know misery
You always hurt me and I always forgive and I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply I give you my love completely
I give you love but hurt is all you give and I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
For as long as I love you there'll be pain
Though tears come and go my love remains the same
I'll always forgive you yes you know that I will and I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Yes I'll hurt for as long as I love you and I'll love you for as long as I live

The time has come for me to leave you cryin'
But love is priceless when it's stained with tears
Love has wings and my love is ever flyin' in its way to you through endless years
Love's young dream foretells no separations that sacred flame can burn reality
Yet life deals out its own destinations and sunshine turns to darkness so suddenly
Time had touched me gently in the face and consolation I must try to find
To leavin' deaf I leave you no disgrace and I'll live within the heart I leave behind
Mhm mhm mhm mhm

I walk in the room is bare I close my eyes pretending you're there
I feel your hand pressing mine your soft sweet lips pressing mine
And I'm making excuses why I can't stay but I find that I'm slowly melting away
And I can't resist the thrill of your touch
Cause I've loved you so long and I've loved you so much I'm only human
[ guitar ]
I open my eyes the dream is gone I realize I've got to go on
I can't live my life on your memory I've got to forget you I've got to be free
So I say that it's easy and easy it seems
Then I close my eyes and look back in my dream
And I still can't resist the thrill of your touch
Cause I've loved you so long and I've loved you so much I'm only human

Today I started loving you again and so I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by on only these few million tears I've cried
When I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
But today I started loving you again...
Yes today I started loving you again

Slowly very slowly you're fading away and little by little I'm forgetting each day
So if I cry when I see you don't think I'm still your fool
It's just a left over feelings that I have for you
You know it takes quite a while to forget your whole world
Especially when the whole world was you
Oh but time has been kind to this heart of mine and your mem'ries are almost blue
So don't think for a minute that I'll come back to you
Cause it's over and it's done our love affair is through
So if I cry when I see you don't think I'm still your fool
It's just the left over feelings that I have for you

Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you and I'm so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you revives the sorrow that wakes me up and tells me I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow but I'm so afraid of losing you again
[ steel ]
If heaven were to hear my heart's confession wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you...
I'm so afraid of losing you again

Oh you tell me that you love me yes you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married but tomorrow's never there
Many weeks have I waited and many many long nights have I cried
Just to see that happy morning happy morning when I'd have you right by my side
But tomorrow never comes no no no tomorrow ain't ever ever gonna come
Now you tell me tell me tell me you love me and you say you want me
Oh but tomorrow never comes

Accident'ly in your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me from just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
And just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
[ steel ]
Yes everything I need...
Stayed just long enough to fall in love with you

Loving you has meant everything to me
Oh I can finally see you're really gone from me
Loving you has meant the whole world to me
Oh but it's too late now I see that you were all that I could ever need
Now ain't funny to keep on hurtin' one who loves you tenderly
Then you'll wake up one day and find he slips slowly away
To the arms of someone new
Loving you has meant...
