I don’t know what I’ve done Or if I like what I’ve begun But something told me to run And honey you know me it’s all or none
There were sounds in my head LIttle voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh and I found myself listening
‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood
See I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you ain’t leaving without a fight And I think I am just as torn inside
‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood
And I won’t be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you This is what I have to do
‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood
