Never has it been so hard

To push a little song

Through my lips

Never in my life ‘til now

And never did someone I know

Teach a broken heart

To love again somehow

Never in my life ‘til now

But ‘til now is then turned to might have been

And here in solitude I finally realize



[chorus]

I was pushing too hard

Trying to make you feel

What you weren't yet feeling

Pushing too hard (Oooooo)

Wanting so much to know (Oooo ooo)

That we'd see this all the way through

But losing you

Would cut me like a knife

So please don't let me

push you out of my life

(please don't let me, ooo)



Never will words come again

Quite so sweet and warm

As when I spoke your name

Never in my life, I know

And never could I be so bold

Once again to reach and hold

The stars above

Never in my life, my love (echoed)

But it was not my part

To be rushing your heart

With time your only wish

I should have granted it



[chorus]

But I was pushing too hard (aaah)

Trying to make you feel (aaah)

What you weren't yet feeling (echoed)

Pushing too hard (aaah)

Wanting so much to know (aaaah)

That we'd see this all the way through

But losing you

Would cut me like a knife

So please don't let me (aaaah)

push you out of my life (aaaah)



Each night I pray (echoed)

That it was just too soon

And now that it is not too late

Someone like you

Far between and so few

All I can do is wait (Ooooo)



[chorus]

Why was pushing too hard (aaah)

Trying to make you feel (aaah)

What you weren't yet feeling (aaah)

Pushing too hard (echoed)

Wanting so much to know (aaah)

That we'd see this all the way through (aaah)

But losing you

Would cut me like a knife (aaah)



(so please) So please don't let me

(tell me) Tell me I have not

Pushed you out of my life

(Ooooo…)
