Lyrics

Tell me what you were thinking
Tell me what you were saying
Tell me what you were doing wrong
I'll be your witness
I'll be the stone you throw through the window
The shadowy room you lie in
The dirty rings in the basin
The creases under your eyes
Don't let them beat you
Don't even try to understand
It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
Everyone knows, it comes and goes
Yet everyone tries to hold it down
This precious moment
The blissful cloud we find ourselves in
It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
No, I never wanna see you cry
It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
It will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
This will be only for a time
Only for a time it will be
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna let you go
No, I never wanna see you cry
