Next time

Next time will never be the same
Cause next time I’ll have gone away
I’m sorry the waiting was too much
I hardly felt your touch
Lying there, lying close
Trying to get the most…
Somehow you want something more
Somehow you’re not like before.

Next month you’ll hardly know I’m gone
Next year when someone comes along
How lucky you are, she’s all the things I’m not
She’s found that special spot I used to know
Years ago when we fell in love.
Fairy tales – love’s not more than this.
So change her, wake her with a kiss.

Sometimes I thought we found a way
The secret seemed just a breath away
It’s hard to say why the feeling’s gone…

Next time I’ll never be the same
Cause next time I will have learned he game
You think you are strong playing by the rules
Then you’re someone’s fool
I waited there, said my prayer the whole night long.
Next time no more sad refrains
Cause next time will never be the same.
