  • "Every time you kiss me, I could cry," she said
    Don't tell me how you miss me
    I could die tonight of a broken heart
    This loneliness has changed me, we have been too far apart
    And it's too late now for me to just forget
    I never thought I'd need to feel regret for all I never was
    But all this time alone has left me hurt and sad and lost
    Yeah, every time you kiss me I could cry
    Don't tell me how you miss me
    I could die tonight of a broken heart
    This loneliness has changed me, we have been too far apart

    "And there's nothing you can do to change it back," she said
    Nothing you can do but sing
    This love is a fragile thing
    Nothing you can do now but pretend again
    "Nothing you can do to change it back," she said
    Nothing you can do but sing
    This love is a fragile thing
    This love is my everything
    But nothing you can do to change the end

    No, nothing you can do (nothing you can do)

    "Every time you leave me is a lie," she said
    You make believe you need me, but you try too hard
    And it feels so wrong
    You promise me forever, and you say it won't be long
    But it's too late now for me to just forget
    I never thought I'd need to feel regret for all I never was
    But all this time alone has left me hurt and sad and lost
    Yeah, every time you leave me is a lie
    You make believe you need me, but you try too hard
    And it feels so wrong
    You promise me forever, and you say it won't be long

    "And there's nothing you can do to change it back," she said
    Nothing you can do but sing
    This love is a fragile thing
    Nothing you can do now but pretend again
    "Nothing you can do to change it back," she said
    Nothing you can do but sing
    This love is a fragile thing
    This love is my everything
    But nothing you can do to change the end

    No, nothing you can do to change the end Writer/s: Robert James Smith
