Lyrics
There I Go Again
Verse:
Where Did you go?
And why didn?t you know?
How much I loved you so.
It was my heart - that took the hit.
You left without a goodbye.
Now I?m standing here asking why.
I guess it?s my turn - to cry.
Chorus:
There I go again with all my ?what ifs?. (Harmony)
I try and deal - with what little is left.
If only I knew then ? what-I- know now - (Harmony)
I?d have found a way to let you go some how.
Verse:
Did you find yourself out there?
Were you cold and wished me near?
Did my memory defrost ? from-your-cold heart?
I never wanted this to end.
Seems it was over - before it began.
I can never be just your friend.
Chorus:
There I go again with all my ?what ifs?. (Harmony)
I try and deal - with what little is left.
If only I knew then ? what-I- know now - (Harmony)
I?d have found a way to let you go some how.
(Instrumental)
Special Ending:
Where did you go?
