  • Tho' we're going our separate ways
    There can only be brighter days
    'Cause I didn't mean that much to you
    Work it out, don't lose the fight
    You can make it turn out right
    'Cause you've got the heart to be secure

    When I wanted you,
    I needed you
    And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
    When I gave you time to make up your mind
    You turned your back on me
    And now I've got to turn my back on you

    After all that we've been through
    Leavin' you is so hard to do
    But when I close my eyes I don't feel the pain
    What was wrong and who was right
    In the end you see the light
    'Cause you think a lot when you're on your own

    When I wanted you,
    I needed you
    And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
    When I gave you time to make up your mind
    You turned you back on me
    And now I'm turnin' mine on you

    Now you're on your own
    How does it feel
    To feel the way I used to feel

    When I wanted you
    I needed you
    And I still can't bring myself to say I'm over you
    When I gave you time to make up your mind
    You turned you back on me
    And now I'm turnin' mine on you Writer/s: GINO CUNICO
