I've known it from the start
There's no way to put out the fire
It's burning in my heart
You've always been my one desire

And now I'm standing here
To watch myself become the traitor
It's ringing in my ear
The words that I'll regret much later

Watching you cry is much worse than a final goodbye

So baby can't you see! You've taken all the best of me!
Like so many times before, still knocking at your door
You've taken all the best! The best of me!

I'm insecure, still putting my whole life in danger
And I'm not really sure, if I'm starting to be more of a stranger
My time is running out, I'm losing everything I wanted
Cause life is all about, not taking anything for granted

Watching you cry is much worse than a final goodbye

So baby can't you see! You've taken all the best of me!
Like so many times before, still knocking at your door
You've taken all the best! The best of me!
