*** Lyrics in (closed brackets) indicate lead Vox Ad Libs ***

*** Verse 1 ***
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here, when will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe, but we're not

*** Bridge ***
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feignin'

*** Chorus 1 ***
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there

*** Verse 2 ***
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front, hey!

*** Bridge ***
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm feignin'

*** Chorus 2 ***
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not there

*** Middle Section ***
Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny, deny

*** Bridge ***
And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
(But I'm dreaming of you babe)
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm feignin'

*** Chorus 3 / Key Change ***
I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(When you are not near aahh)
Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, hey)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear (say it Lord)
My world crumbles when you are not here

*** Chorus 4 / Outro ***
Goodbye and I choke (Goodbye and I choke)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(You are not near, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah...)
