Neither of us ever thought Back on the first day that we met We were both so convinced that the dream Would never end Nobody saw the signs, man It's funny how love is blind, man 'Cause it can be over just as fast As it begins So now I've been sitting here I'm alone trying to stuff my fear Checkin' out one of the pictures there up on the shelf The story behind my song Is that you never know what you got Until it's gone What I've gotta do to make you love me? What I've gotta do to be heard? What do I do when it's all over? Sorry seems to be the hardest word How can I forget that day That I got up and walked away? I can still see the tears and the years Fall from your eyes And now I'm all alone I got nothin' else to do but pray For the dream that I might have you back here In my life I'm hoping that now you can see Between the real and the fantasy Reality is rough but it always has a key The story behind my words Well, I hope you agree that the truth Will set you free What I've gotta do to make you love me? What I've gotta do to be heard? What do I do when it's all over? Sorry seems to be the hardest word What I've gotta do to make you love me? What I've gotta do to be heard? What do I do when it's all over? Sorry seems to be the hardest word Tell me what I gotta do Oh, I need you in my life
