I bet you’re wondering how I knew   that this would come to an end   He stole your heart from you   so you tossed me out to the wind   I keep pretending not to care   Oh the winter scent in her hair   compels my hands to do   the things my heart wouldn’t dare   I’ll keep holding on to you   single years   perfecting lives with strangers   if only you   if only now      And in the twilight of the south   when fools are mistaken for men   this shadow suits me well   my regrets are faced in the end   I’ll keep holding on to you   single years   perfecting lives with strangers   if only you   if only now   I’ll keep holding on to you   single years   perfecting love with strangers   if only you   if only now
