When you and I were young
You and I could both pretend
That nothing could go wrong
There were only new beginnings
And no end

But then time becomes the enemy
Love scatters like an autumn leaf
In the thinning air without a trace

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
So I can stop this heart
Racing out of me

Love can break your heart
So I'll keep the pieces safe
Till I can stop his heartache
I'll do whatever it takes

When searching for someone
You've lost
You somehow tend to find yourself
We all carry a cross
But mine
No I can't seem to lift myself up

Now I've lost you like a summer breeze
In the winter of a desperate plea
Love is gone without a trace

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
So I can stop this heart
Racing out of me

Love can break your heart
So I'll keep the pieces safe
Till I can stop his heartache
I'll do whatever it takes

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
So I can stop this heart
Racing out of me

Love can break your heart
So I'll keep the pieces safe
Till I can stop his heartache
I'll do whatever it takes
