Could've given you everything that you need

But I cannot turn back the years

The perfect love was all you wanted from me

But I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard

We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try

If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth

And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night

That I cannot turn back the years

So I look out my window, turn off my light

But I cannot turn back the years

Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see

Can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth

People are hurting and they're looking to me

And I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

All that I lived for, all that I dreamed

But I cannot turn back the years

You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breathe

But I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard

We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try

If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth

And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up
