He's gone

You've lost

Stay behind

and count the cost

You try

You lose

You don't fall in love by chance

You choose


It's a decision made over time Should you take a risk and start to climb the steepest hill only to find halfway there you've been left behind?

Choosing to love is risking a lot and trying to change and to give all you've got But don't pretend it comes out of the blue You take a chance and see it through 

and if it's refused what can you do? Continue hopefully? Start anew?


Lick your wounds

Buy your booze

You won't get drunk by accident

You'll choose

Don't blame him

for refusing your bid

He didn't decide to love

You did


Learn the lesson

Take the blows

You didn't fall in love by chance

You chose

Play the sad songs

Sing the blues

You don't fall in love by chance

You choose
