First verse is also the chorus:
I'd like to tell you, in a thousand ways.
Set fire to love & then just watch it blaze!
I'd like to hold you while I sing your praise.
Tell how I love you & you'd be amazed!
I'm the girl who won it all, then lost,
I sit in silence as I count the cost,
Holding back, I never took the prize,
Now I see you look into another's eyes!
{Chorus...}
I'm left with nothing but a memory.
I look in anguish, I can't bear to see
The dreadful moment when you slipped away,
I hate that feeling & I hate that day!
{Chorus...}
Each night torments me with a nagging pain!
I try to stop it, but I try in vain!
Its like a nightmare that I can't forget!
Its filled with crying & a deep regret!
{Chorus...}
You never heed the warnings when you just don't know!
You can watch it over, you can run it slow,
See the tragic ending & my sad demise,
But Life will always take you when its by surprise!
{Chorus...}
