[Verse 1]
If I forgave you again
If I promised to be friends
Would you look me in the eye
And say "Darling, I wish I could cry"
[Pre-Chorus]
If I told you I was strong
If I laughed and played along
Would you write me a song
And say "Darling, you′re not the only one"
[Chorus]
'Cause I′m having a hard time holding on
Feels like it won't be long 'till I′m gone
So give me back the parts you stole
And we′ll both go on
Being whole
[Pre-Chorus]
If I said I loved you again
Would you try and just give in
Forget the words we never meant
Love the times we never spent
[Chorus]
'Causе I′m having a hard time holding on
Feels like it won't be long ′till I'm gonе
So give me back the parts you stole
And we′ll both go on
Being whole
[Verse 2]
And it might be a while
But I promise I'll be less a child
A home of my own and a roof above my head
And you to warm my bed
If I forgave you again
If I had always been your friend
Would you look me in the eye
And say "Darling, I hate to say goodbye"
