Lyrics
IT'S OVER NOW,THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DO OR SAY
YOU WONDER HOW IT EVER HAD TO END THIS WAY ?
WAS IT A PERFECT DREAM ?
OR NOT QUITE WHAT IT SEEMED TO BE OR NOT TO BE
BUT NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW
YOU KEEP IT ALL INSIDE BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO HIDE
BEHIND THE MASK YOU USE YOU KEEP THE WORLD AT BAY
YOU 'RE KEEPIN' TO YOURSELF,RELY ON NO-ONE ELSE
SO OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND GIVE YOURSELF A SECOND CHANCE
COME UP FOR AIR, DON'T FIGHT IT JUST ACCEPT THE PAST
AND LET IT GO
'COS WAS IT EVER MEANT TO LAST ?
A DREAM THAT WAS SERENE
THAT ALL AT ONCE TURNED DAY TO NIGHT
WITHOUT THE LIGHT YOU COULD N'T FIND THE SUN
YOU KEEP IT ALL ALL INSIDE AND WHEN YOU TRY TO HIDE
BEHIND THE MASK YOU USE YOU KEEP THE WORLD AT BAY
BEEN KEEPIN' TO YOURSELF CONFIDE IN NO-ONE ELSE
SO OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND GIVE THE WORLD ANOTHER CHANCE
YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
