He's gone   You've lost   Stay behind   And count the cost   You try   You loose   You don't fall in love by chance   You choose      It's a decision   Made overtime   Should you take the risk   And start to climb   For the steepest hill   Only to find   Halfway there you've been   Left behind      Choosing to love   Is risking a lot   And trying to change   And to keep all you've got   But don't pretend   It comes out of the blue      You take a chance   And see it through   And if it's refused   What can you do?   Continue hopefully   Start a new      Lick your wounds   Buy your booze   You won't get drunk by accident   You choose   Don't blame him   For refusing your bid   He didn't decide to love   You did      Learn the lesson   Take the blows   You didn't fall in love by chance   You chose   Play the sad songs   And sing the blues   You don't fall in love by chance   You chose
