Photographs of long ago smiles
Looks so sad to him right now
Mother, daughter, wife and child looking so sincere
Why can't love stay the same?
Changes rule in everything
Soon he feels the blinding sting of a runaway tear
How can he ever let go, when she's held him for so long?
When will he learn to love again?
He can't start over, until he tells her
What she doesn't want to know
He longs to try it on his own
Aches to lay his burdens down
The weight upon his shoulders
Is so much to bear
But when he looks her in the eyes
The thought of saying last goodbyes
Tears him up inside
Like someone who cares
How can he ever let go, when she's held him for so long?
When will he learn to love again?
He can't start over, until he tells her
What she doesn't want to know
Tears fall when there's nothing left to say
In a lonely room or two
Worlds apart, how did they get that way?
Now there's one thing left to do
He's got to learn to let go, though she's held him for so long
Someday he'll find love again
He can't start over, until he tells her
What she doesn't want to know
They can't start over, until he tells her
What she doesn't want to know
Ooh-oh-oh
