I gave my heart to everyone,
But no one gave me theirs.
I stood beside them in the rain,
But no one saw my tears.
I spent my life making them smile,
While I was dying inside.
And every time I needed love,
There was nowhere left to hide. (ohhh)
Oh Lord,
where did my years go?
Where did my dreams disappear?
I’ve been smiling for a lifetime,
While drowning in my tears.
I gave away my best days,
To people who walked away.
And all the love I saved for me,
Got lost along the way.
There’s an old coat by the doorway,
And a picture on the wall.
Of a man who used to believe,
That love could conquer all.
Now the mirror shows a stranger,
With silver in his hair.
And a thousand untold stories,
That nobody wants to hear.
Oh Lord,
where did my years go?
Where did my dreams disappear?
I’ve been smiling for a lifetime,
While drowning in my tears.
(drowning in my tears) I gave away my best days,
To people who walked away.
And all the love I saved for me,
Got lost
along the way.
I don’t want my money back.
I don’t want another lie.
I just wish somebody held me,
On the nights I couldn’t cry.
I don’t need a thousand people.
I don’t need a crowded room.
Just one heart that wouldn’t leave me,
When
the darkness filled my room.
Oh Lord,
I can’t bring back the years,
And I can’t change yesterday.
But somewhere in this broken heart,
There’s a light that wants to stay.
I’ve been hurt, I’ve been forgotten,
I’ve been lonely for so long.
But if tomorrow gives me one more chance,
I’ll try to carry on.
The years are
gone…
The love is gone… But I’m still here… Still holding on…
