Verse 2
Too many tears have fallen, too many dreams were broken
And holding on would be a waste of time
But sometimes I know I'll wonder if it was really over
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye

Now the flame is gone I know and the ashes have grown cold
And the love we had we'll never have again
But there's one ember left, it must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
There's one ember left, it must have never died
'Cause it took us all night long to say goodbye
