It's three in the morning, you're nowhere in sight    And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight    I've watched love get closer and then fade away    I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay.       But what good is holding on when you know    That all you can think about is letting go    They say if you love someone then set them free    If they'll come back again then in the end    It was meant to be.       I thought we were lovers    I thought we were friends    I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends    We live for the future    We learn from the past    No matter how hard we try some good things never last.       All you can think about is letting go    Be true to yourself my love    That's all i ever wanted you to be    Just don't forget to smile    When you think of me.       I've reached for the star    I have got them insight    There's someone who really needs me    Out there in the night    We live for the future    We learn from the past    No matter how hard we try    Some good things never last."
