I know you're gone
And who knows for how long
Ooh it's so hard to stay strong
I kept all your things
And you can keep the ring
I was always a puppet on your strings
But if you'd hold me in your arms once again
I could forget there's only heartache on ahead
I can't take back my heart
Cause you left me with spare parts
You were always holding all the cards
Now you tell me to start again
And you say we can still be friends
Well here comes the hard part
It cuts through my soft heart
Is this the end
But if you'd hold me in your arms once again
I could forget there's only heartache on ahead
I hope you're safe and sound in your new life
And I know it's wrong to hold on too tight, yes it is
Just one more dance with you in the porch light
Once more before I lose you to the dark night
To the dark night
It's a strange thing I know
When something's gained by letting go
I've been trying to hold on to a ghost
But if you'd hold me in your arms once again
I could forget there's only heartache on ahead
Yeah if you'd hold me in your arms once again
I could forget there's only heartache on ahead
