this is the life you saved laid out before you
everything that i think i have been and what i am now
nothing can change the way i feel about you
better we go on our separate ways
nothing is left but the endless days
nothing to cry but your name

chorus
don't you look back don't say a word
i will be lonely for you i will be standing for you
don't you despair i will be there for you i will be there

maybe this time next year we'll be together
you can wipe away all of the tears bring truth to the lies
there was a silent dream we made a promise
we'd be there for each other forever
aboard like a ship on an ocean's roar
beating a path to your open door
nothing will keep me away
repeat chorus
