For the first time
In such a long time
I've been feeling there's some reason
To hold on through the nights.
And for the first time
Since you broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright.
Now you're askin' me to let you
Walk back into my life.
Something I can't bring myself to do.
'Cause it's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
You kept me holding on to the end.
Oh, it's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
I don't think that I could say goodbye again.
I could trust you,
But it's out of my hands.
I once believed your promises,
Believed in every word you said.
I still love you,
But my heart can't take the chance.
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead.
Just remember it was you
Who walked right out of my life.
No, you don't know what I've been through.
'Cause it's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
You kept me holding on 'til the end.
Oh, it's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
I don't think that I could say goodbye again.
I made a promise to myself,
And this one I'm not gonna break.
I've made it without you,
And I'm not about to
Turn around and make the same mistake.
Oh, it's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
You kept me holding on 'til the end.
It's been hard enough
Gettin' over you.
I don't think that I could say goodbye,
I don't think I could say goodbye,
I know that I can't say goodbye again.
