Lyrics: | Well I'll
be lyin' awake, baby, late at night And I'll call you up, but you're not alone I'd wait for you but it just ain't right To keep my soul on fire with your heart of stone And I still see, how it use to be But somewhere somethin' changed And I don't know why All my friends, you know they love to talk And they've been sayin' that we'll never make it I just can't help the way I feel inside Y'know it makes me crazy, but I just can't shake it It'd be a crime, after all this time If we had to say goodbye Before you walk away think it over Haven't I been good to you Don't wanna hear you say that it's over Haven't I been good to you You could leave, you could let it go Or we could try and make it one way or another I'll tell you somethin' It breaks my heart to know it could've been easy But it keeps on getting' harder Now I'm seein' signs in between the lines Things that I don't wanna know Before you walk away think it over Haven't I been good to you Don't wanna hear you say that it's over Haven't I been good to you I could wait for a miracle But I'd be waitin' for nothin' at all, oh yeah 'Cause I know there's no miracle I'm just waitin' for the curtain to fall Now I'm seein' signs in between the lines Things that I don't wanna know Before you walk away think it over Haven't I been good to you Don't wanna hear you say that it's over now Oh haven't I been good to you baby Before you walk away think it over Haven't I been good to you Don't wanna hear you say that it's over now Haven't I been good to you baby Before you walk away think it over Haven't I been good to you Don't wanna hear you say that it's over Haven't I been good to you |
