The rain taps soft
Like it did that day
I watch it run
Slowly down the pane
The night's at peace
Why is it hard to sleep
I thought by now
That I could dream
I was better
I'd let you go
Does my heart still not know
I'm holding back those tears
Holding back those years
Trying to say goodbye
To a life
That's disappeared
Holding back those tears
Is something I can't do
My heart belongs with you
Holding back those tears
I never thought you'd hurt me so
The pain never left
All it did was grow
Time moves on
And I've lost my way
I'm left sitting by this window pane
Perhaps one day
Before it's too late
I'll find the happiness that I crave
I'm holding back those tears
Holding back those years
Trying to say goodbye
To a life
That's disappeared
Holding back those tears
Is something I can't do
My heart belongs with you
Holding back those tears
