and you feel you've loved in vain
 you try and hide your sorrow
 now you're alone again
 so you block out your emotion
 laugh it off and carry on
 sayin' why do I have to feel this way
 was loving you so wrong

 if I could only turn around
 one more time for old time's sake
 I'd pick up all the pieces
 from the mistakes I made
 did I give myself completely
 or did I hang on for too long
 ah, but what's the use of me talking this way
 now that you're gone

 no looking back, it's over now
 all over now
 I tell myself I'm glad
 it's over now
 all over now
 it's over now

 but if I ever love again
 oh, I won't be played a fool
 I'll put in my performance
 this time I'll know the moves
 it's not that I'm feeling bitter
 I've no bitterness to show
 and all I'm really trying to say
 is that I wish I'd never let you go
