Not so long ago, when I was just a child
I never realized the way I felt inside
And how much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And I don't think I've ever told you so
And I thought you'd like to know
That now I see and I can understand
I understand
I was unkind, I must have been blind to your sorrow
And night after night, trying to live with your sorrow
And I was a bastard and I was wrong
And I was lost in things I've done
And I was stealing just for fun
And it was breaking your heart
So long ago, when I was just a child
I never understood, never realized
How much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And I don't think I've ever told you so
And I thought you'd like to know
That now I see and I can understand
I understand
I was unkind, I must've been blind to your sorrow
Night after night, tryin' to live with your sorrow
I was unsure, and lookin' for more, I was anxious
To be on my own, livin' at home I was restless
And I was a bastard and I was wrong
And I was lost in the things I'd done
And I was stealin' for fun
And it was breakin' your heart
It was breakin' your heart(Steve Morse / Steve Walsh)
I'm hangin' on - cause I hate letting go (I hate letting go)
I'm not that strong - but you already know; how I hate letting go
We believed that dreams came true, now that picture's torn in two
I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me
I counted on love
Some great defender - is that what you need? To heal not to bleed
Some great pretender - shouting
"Set yourself free - Set yourself free"
Why do memories have to be like a lock without a key
I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me
I was flying oh so high
Now I'm trying not to cry
I was trying - but I'm dying, 'caus I hate letting go
I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me
I counted on love I counted on you
