Neither of us ever thought 
 Back on the first day that we met 
 We were both so convinced that the dream 
 Would never end 
    Nobody saw the signs, man 
 It's funny how love is blind, man 
 'Cause it can be over just as fast 
 As it begins   
 So now I've been sitting here 
 I'm alone trying to stuff my fear 
 Checkin' out one of the pictures there up on the shelf   
 The story behind my song 
 Is that you never know what you got 
 Until it's gone   
 What I've gotta do to make you love me? 
 What I've gotta do to be heard? 
 What do I do when it's all over? 
 Sorry seems to be the hardest word   
 How can I forget that day 
 That I got up and walked away? 
 I can still see the tears and the years 
 Fall from your eyes   
 And now I'm all alone 
 I got nothin' else to do but pray 
 For the dream that I might have you back here 
 In my life   
 I'm hoping that now you can see 
 Between the real and the fantasy 
 Reality is rough but it always has a key   
 The story behind my words 
 Well, I hope you agree that the truth 
 Will set you free   
 What I've gotta do to make you love me? 
 What I've gotta do to be heard? 
 What do I do when it's all over? 
 Sorry seems to be the hardest word   
 What I've gotta do to make you love me? 
 What I've gotta do to be heard? 
 What do I do when it's all over? 
 Sorry seems to be the hardest word   
 Tell me what I gotta do 
 Oh, I need you in my life
