Lyrics
INSTEAD OF THIS
I can only dream
About the way it used to feel
Baby when you held me
And took away all my pain
I can only cry
When I think of what I?ve lost
I know that I can never touch you
And be a part of your life again
I know time won?t heal
All the loneliness I feel
Instead of this I could be in your arms tonight
Instead of this empty feeling
I could be holding you close to me baby
Instead of this I could be making love to you
Instead of feeling like I do
I could still be there with you
I can only try
To get on with my life
Believe that I will never need you
Tell myself I can be strong
But I can only lie
And say that I?ll survive
I know I can live without you
But everything just feels wrong
I know time won?t heal
All the loneliness I feel
CHORUS
Why did I lie
Why did I throw it all away
Why did I give up the chance
Of always being loved by you this way
Why I did I act like a fool
Doing everything so wrong
Why did I let you down
And give away a love so strong
CHORUS
