	  The pain your eyes reveal
	                          
	  From foolish things I've done
	                          
	  The times that I let you down

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
