Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
[Verse 2]
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live, not stopping
[Verse 3]
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
[Verse 4]
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
[Verse 5]
Amazing, still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
[Verse 6]
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
[Verse 7]
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
[Verse 8]
You'll sit alone forever
Wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
