I...
I never counted tears I cried
Or the days without a smile
I never thought someday
You and I
Would be splitting up in fight
It's a sad old story, excuses on repeat
No love, no glory, but I finally said

Anyone but you
Could leave me broken
Anyone but you
Could make me cry
Anyone but you
Could bring the darkness
Ain't no matter how hard you try you can't
You can't hurt me again

I never counted tears you cried
Or the days without your smile
I took too much for granted, a fool was I
But being a fool comes with a price
Guess it's been long time coming
But I was way too blind to see
Then it struck me like a lightning
When you said to me

Anyone but you
Could leave me broken
Anyone but you
Could make me cry
Anyone but you
Could bring the darkness
Ain't no matter how hard you try you can't
You can't hurt me again

Just don't say a word, I've heard it all before
Don't you worry now, I'll walk straight out through that door
But one more thing before I leave I want you to know
I just hope I will be the last one to hear:

Anyone but you
Could leave me broken
Anyone but you
Could make me cry
Anyone but you
Could bring the darkness
Ain't no matter how hard you try you can't
You can't hurt me again

This is the time, this is the place
For me to answer, for you to ask
I can see questions
Troubling your mind

Don't be afraid to talk to me
It's not too late, never will be
I'll be your friend, boy
Long after I'm gone
I will be watching you
And help you carry on

Be strong
Walk tall
Keep on movin' when you fall
Grow yourself boy, up to be
A kind of man with whom you can live
Day after day

Come sit beside me, or sit in my lap
Always remember, do not forget
I'll be your ladder
But on your own you'll climb
I'll dig the trenches
But you must fight your fights

Be strong
Walk tall
Keep on movin' when you fall
Grow yourself boy, up to be
A kind of man with whom you can live
Day after day…
Day after day…
Day after day…

Before the sun come shining
Before the night is gone
Should I forget you're not mine
Or I’ll regret the thoughts from the back of my mind

If all the words I left unspoken
Could have been read right from my eyes
Would they make you ask me to stay a bit longer
Or you'll just close the door and turn the key twice

I’ll play my hand, “All in!” I’d say
And if I see my dreams falling down like rain
I won’t regret it, I won’t feel ashamed
If I can’t trust my heart then, tell me,
What remains?

With one last chip left on the table
I’ll roll the dice and walk away
I have no lucky numbers to follow
I always go with the thoughts from the back of my mind

I’ll play my hand, “All in!” I’d say
And if I see my dreams falling down like rain
I won’t shed a tear, I learned my lessons well
If I can’t trust my heart then, tell me,
What remains?
