Any Other Way

Still remember seeing you standing there
Alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air
Nothing that I could do
Always knew you were the only one
I never told you so
Thought you’d understand what I had done
When I had to let you go
Thought that we could prove ourselves
Show that we were strong
Should have written every day
Now I know that I was wrong

If there was any other way
Don’t you think I would have found it by now
Found a way round it somehow
If there was any other way

Left you on a rainy summer’s day
I thought you understood
You turned and never looked around again
I knew you never would
We were only children then
Living on borrowed time
Stars were shining in your eyes
Tears were filling up in mine

If there was any other way
Don’t you think I would have found it by now
Found a way round it somehow
If there was any other way
And if the world should end today
I’d take my last breath whispering your name
Wondering if you’d ever felt the same
If there was any other way
