Lyrics

When I was young
It was easier to fall in love.
Sleepless nights
And counting all the stars above.
And of all the things at seventeen I've ever done,
Was the time I said that we would be the only ones.

CHORUS:
No one wants to be the one to say the party's over.
No one wants to be the one to end the game.
No one wants to be the one to say that love is dying.
And no one wants to say that things have changed.

Time went by
And painted a picture of laughter and pain -
And memories
I doubt I'll ever see again.
But somewhere along the way love's candle flickered out -
And each of us with nothing left to talk about.

CHORUS

[Instrumental Break]

"I got to leave her,
But I love her so", cried a friend of mine.
"Now I drink too much,
And it's doing something to my mind.
And if I don't go now, I know that one of us will surely die.
But I don't want to be the one to have to say goodbye -
Say goodbye -
I don't want to make her cry."

CHORUS (repeat 2x)
