1980 Warsaw winter, 
Teenage mother, 
two-room apartment 
Footsteps running 
down the hallway 
Shouting hes frightened 
Calling he wont answer 

Its no rehearsal 
No second chances 
its now or never 
A starry eyed romance 

Its only striking out alone 
Its only losing all you own 
Its only life without him 
Its only sacrifice 
Its only to thyself be true 
Its only what she has to do 
Its only more than 
any heart can take 
Its only life 

Another country 
another language 
Nearly 30 winters later 
A daughter who barely knew 
her father 
But still he haunts her 
Love and her emotions 

She has a lover 
she really wants him 
But she remembers the man 
who ran away 

Its only striking out alone 
Its only losing all you own 
Its only life without him 
Its only sacrifice 
Its only to thyself be true 
Its only what she has to do 
Its only more than that 
any heart can take 

She hears the footsteps 
Her chilhood calling 
She knows she loves him 
Defences fallin` 
She knows he loves her 
Its now or never 
She`ll seize the day 
She says she`ll stay 

Its only in another star 
Its only giving up a heart 
Its only for a lifetime 
Its only sacrifice 

Its only to thyself be true 
Its only what she has to do 
Its only what she knows 
her heart can take 
Its only life 
Its only life 
Its only life
