I let you escape, slip through my fingers   We made our mistakes, but memories linger   Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face   But I'm standing here alone in the wonder   What I really needed, what made me run away?   Was it just somebody's spell I was under      We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind   And life's too short to be living without you   And life's too short, oh life's too short      You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses   It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses   I've got my motor running, it's all that I can do   'Cause every road I'm taking, is leading back to you      We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind   And life's too short to be living without you   And life's too short, oh life's too short      I give in I can't go it alone, oh, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone   I need someone to save me and life's too short, too short      I give in I can't go it alone   Life's too short to be living without you   Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone      Life's too short can't be living without you   Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone   I can live without you      Life's too short I give in I can't go it alone   Life's too short to be living without you
