You went away and left me one dark day When we were much too close Dreaming of our private peace You went away and I was breathing again The air was purer now It felt so good somehow to be alone But if I'd known You went away and I was breathing again The air was purer now It felt so good somehow to be alone But if I'd known You went away and I was breathing again The air was purer now I must have cost you pain Our love was on the way And I want you back again I need you need you need you need you need you need you You went away and left me standing there And I could breathe again, live again Without a care But your pain was reaching me and again Was teaching me that I'd hurt you deeply many times So many, many times Without a thought I must have cost you pain Our love was out of the way I want you back again I need you need you need you need you need you need you You went away and left me standing there And I could breathe again, live again
