Well it's good to know that you are all alone tonight
Can I come around and tell you how I feel?
Can I say the words I did rehearse a million times or more?
Now it's always the same
Do you promise me that you won't breathe a word of this?
Will you hear me out again for old times sake?
Would he fight for you the way I do, And not expect a thing?
Now it's always the same
Now it's always the same
Can I hold you dear?
Can I be with you tonight?
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
Well I've convinced myself It wouldn't help to tell you this
So instead I'll go quietly into the night
Spend another age with you embedded in my mind
Now it's always the same
Now it's always the same
Can I hold you dear?
Can I be with you tonight?
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
Now it's always the same
Now it's always the same
