All that time I was searching, nowhere to run to, it started me   Thinking   Wondering what I could make of my life, and who'd be waiting   Asking all kinds of questions, to myself, but never finding the answers   Crying at the top of my voice, and no one listening   All this time, I still remember everything you said   There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget      Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this   You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps   Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this   You know I want to, but I'm in too deep      So listen, listen to me   Ooh you must believe me   I can feel your eyes go thru me   But I don't know why      Ooh I know you're going, but I can't believe   It's the way that you're leaving   It's like we never knew each other at all, it may be my fault   I gave you too many reasons, being alone, when I didn't want to   I thought you'd always be there, I almost believed you   All this time, I still remember everything you said, oh   There's so much you promised, how could I ever forget      Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this   You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps   Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this   You know I want to, but I'm in too deep      So listen, listen to me   I can feel your eyes go thru me   It seems I've spent too long   Only thinking about myself - oh   Now I want to spend my life   Just caring bout somebody else      Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this   You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps   Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this   You know I want to, but I'm in too deep      Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this   You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps   Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this   You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
