You couldn't say

needed someone new

You actually thought

deep inside I knew

Can you tell me How can you say

Why this should suffice

You passed me by

and your heart as cold as ice

(You passed me by)

Did you see me cry

(Did you ask yourself why)

Did you see me cry

(Did you ask yourself how)

Can you hear me cry

(Did you ask yourself)

Will we ever grow apart

You, you couldn't say

needed someone new

and you actually thought

deep inside I knew

I wonder where we will go

Will we be the same

(You passed me by)

I laugh inside I think of you

and the love we made

(You passed me by)

Tell me why this should suffice

I hold you through the night

Now will I let it go

Soon I'll let it go

Can you hear me cry

(Will you ask yourself why)

Can you hear me cry

(Will you ask yourself how)

Can you hear me cry

(Will you ask yourself)

Will we ever grow apart

You, I'll stand by your side

I'll be there for you

(You passed me by)

You, I'll stand by your side

Please just do me right

(You passed me by)

You, I'll stand by your side

I'll be there for you
