On and on
I've tried to move it alone
(It won't stop)
Tried to find the strength to turn it around
(It won't stop)
Everything's been off
Since you went away
And time just broke the promise to ease the pain

Chorus:
Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Crashing, breaking memories in my mind
(it won't stop)
Never ever close to getting it right
(It won't stop)
Best time of my life
Now it's washed away
Still the stars the know how to spell your name

Chorus:
Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Cause you got into my heart of stone
And I don't do well here on my own
Now the silence keeps me up at night
And I can't get used to being all alone

Chorus:
Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?
And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Strophe I:
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Chorus:
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Strophe II:
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images
No
I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Chorus:
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do


Bridge:
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine


Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?


Chorus:
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
