Days swiftly come and go. I'm dreaming of her She's seeing other guys Emotions they stir The sun is gone. The nights are long And I am left while the tears fall Did you think that I would cry, On the phone? Do you know what it feels like, Being alone? I'll find someone new (Swing) swing, swing from the tangles of My heart is crushed by a former love. Can you help me find a way To carry on again Wish cast into the sky I'm moving on Sweet beginnings do arise She knows I was wrong The notes are old, They bend, they fold And so do I to a new love Did you think that I would cry, On the phone? Do you know what it feels like, Being alone? I'll find someone new (Swing) swing, swing from the tangles of My heart is crushed by a former love. Can you help me find a way To carry on again Bury me (You thought your problems were gone) Carry me (Away, away, away) (Swing) swing, swing from the tangles of My heart is crushed by a former love. Can you help me find a way To carry on again To carry on again To carry on again
