I thought she had to have it
Since the first time she came
Who knows the situation
Mysteries do remain
And now I wonder why
I break down when I cry
Is it something I said
Or is it just a lie
(Is it just a lie)

I try so hard to love you
Some things take time and shame
I think the whole world of you
Your thoughts of me remain
I'll play the fool for you
I'll change the rules for you
Just say it and I'll do
Just make this thing come true
(Make a dream come true)

If I let her get away
Though I'm beggin' on my knees
I'll be cryin' every day
Knowing the girl that got away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
No
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I tried to mastermind it
By saying let it be
But everytime I did it
The hurt came back at me
I told you that I need you
A thousand times and why
I played the fool for you
And still you said goodbye
(Still you said goodbye)

If I let her get away
Then the world will have to see
A fool who lives alone
And the fool who set you free
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
No
I can't let
I can't let her get away

I got the feeling
She's never gonna stop
I got the feeling
She's never gonna try
I got the feeling
She's never gonna stop
I got the feeling
But she's never gonna know
Stop, she's on a highest hill
I got the feeling
But she's never gonna take it
I got the feeling
I got the feeling
I got the feeling
But she's never gonna
Can't let her go
I can't let
I can't let her get away
No, no
I can't let
She won't, she won't let me
