Verse 2:

We've had bad times
Through the years
And though I've made you cry
Think of me through tender tears
And try to close your eyes
And try to close your eyes
To thoughtless things I do
The dreams that don't come true
'Cause I'll never change, believe me I try
If you go away, you know that I'll die
Oh I need you, please don't say goodbye
