I was thinking ‘bout the time

When we were young, swimming against the tide

Was I blind cause all I saw

Was the future in your eyes

Now those days are over and nothing's as it seems

Reality has changed our lives

Taken away our dreams



I was talking to myself

Lying that things would work out right

Make your choice – sink or swim

In the river of life tonight

‘Cos all I need to feel right now is rain against my skin

I've been waiting in the desert for my ship to come in



CHORUS:

So give me one reason why we're not together

If I had one reason I would feel so much better

I guess that you're leaving has left me with nothing

I was touched by your honesty but now I'm forgotten



Now I'm living in a daze

Trying hard to laugh in the face of love

When we're born we learn to live

With what we can't rise above

Cars go by, days drag on

It's like some kind of gravity that's pulling me under



CHORUS:

So give me one reason why you're screaming in silence

Just give me one reason why the whole world is laughing

And now we're all together, liars and lovers

I was shocked by the things you said

But now I've recovered



I'm doing fine without you

Let all this guilt be on your head

Never thought I would see you go

Never thought you would go so slow

When you're down at the bottom

There's really only one way left

Just the memory of what you never head



CHORUS:

So give me one reason welcome to heaven

Why don't start believing life is forever

I guess that fate told me you were there for the taking

All you get is one chance in life and then you're forgotten



CHORUS:

Just give me one reason why you're right out of fashion

And now your heart's calling for what I have to offer

And there is no denying you had something so special

But you threw it back in my face and now you're forgotten



I've had enough and I heard you say life is forever

I've had enough I'm walking
