So sad, but there's nothin' that I can do Things are so bad, forget every word I've spoken to you Love is when it touches you down inside Why really are you lookin' for somewhere to hide You've gotta hold back the tears Soon you will discover maybe there could be someone who cares for you You've gotta hold back the tears Don't have to say never, love will come to those who are prepared Time will never be on your side Listen, could be your only chance to survive This love is waiting to call you home Don't read you'll ever be on your own You've gotta hold back the tears Soon you will discover maybe there could be someone who cares for you You've gotta hold back the tears Don't have to say never, love will come to those who are prepared To give it back This is all you're ever gonna be Well, is it all worth while There's so much that I want you to see It could be all worth while
