In your haste, you left and said you'd be returning
In my sorrow, I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room, I sit and count the hours
Every minute holding, I'll look up and you'll come walking in
For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching, breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me
But I'll be happy and I'll live for then and only then
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
And this tiny thread of hope which I claim
But if I keep holding on, maybe someday
You'll remember where you left me
And come back for me again
For then and only then will I stop crying
And this aching, breaking heart of mine
Will mend not until I see you again
Will mend not until I feel your arms around me
But I'll be happy and I'll live for then and only then
And I'll live for then and only then
