The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was

Now here we are
So close yet so far
Haven't I passed the test
When will you realize
Baby, I'm not like the rest

Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to waste
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah

On Sunday you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

The world is ours if we want it
We can take it if you just take my hand
There's no turning back now
Baby, try to understand

Remember love, remember you and me
Remember everything we shared
On this planet when we cared
Remember hearts, remember unity
Remember loving neighbours without expecting favours

Why be afraid to make an honest mistake
If you acknowledge the pain
And you wanna change, you can get through anything

Do you remember at all
People walking hand-in-hand
Can we feel that love again
Can you imagine at all
If we all could get along
Then we all could sing this song
Together

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Singing, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Look at me and look at you
Now look at me again
See, we're not so different
Look around, what do you see
Were throwing things outside our window
We don't care to keep it clean

I had a dream that beauty was only skin deep
And if we all just believe

Four years old with my back to the door
All I could hear was the family you wore
Your selfish hands always expecting more
Am I your child or just a charity ward
You have a hollowed out heart
But it’s heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but it’s hopeless
Hopeless, you’re hopeless
Oh father, please father
I’d love to leave you alone but I can’t let you go
Oh father, please father
Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter, aah
It’s been five years since we’ve spoken last
And you can’t take back what we never had
Oh, I can be manipulated only so many times
Before even “I love you” starts to sound like a lie
You have a hollowed out heart
But it’s heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but it’s hopeless
Hopeless, you’re hopeless
Oh father, please father
I’d love to leave you alone but I can’t let you go
Oh father, please father
