Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart
[Chorus]
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will, if you let them
Steal your heart from you
[Chorus]
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
[Bridge]
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye, but please don't take my heart
[Verse 2]
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces and mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find peace of mind
While I listen to my heart
[Chorus]
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will, if you let them, steal your heart
[Chorus]
And people
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
Ba-da, ah-ah, ah-da
[Bridge]
But remember this, every other kiss
That you ever give, long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you, like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other
[Verse 3]
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
[Outro]
You must have been kissing a fool
