Gonna be another long lonely night
Counting all the seconds ‘till I fall asleep
And dream I'm holdin' you tight
I was such a fool to let you go
The moment you left all that I know was the truth
Was so plain to see
You took the best part of me

I knew a love that was forever
I knew a love that was the way it should be
If only I could pull us both together again
I could make you so happy
And you'd be the best part of me

I can feel tears run down my face
Swimming in the sea I'm drowning in and
The waves calling out my pain
It was cruel to let you down
But worse for me 'cause now you're gone
And the moment I set you free
You took the best part of me

I knew a love that was forever
I knew a love that was the way it should be
If only I could pull us both together again
I could make you so happy
And you'd be the best part of me

Each, and every second we spend apart
Strengthens my will to bring you back to my heart
I'm beggin' you please
I've got to make you see
I'm here for you
I see the truth for the first time in my life

I knew a love that was forever
I knew a love that was the way it should be
If only I could pull us both together again
I could make you so happy
And you'd be the best part of me
