I've been where you are before
No one understands it more
You fear every step you take
So sure that your heart will break

It's not how the story ends
You'll be back on your feet again

[Chorus:]
Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away

The pain's still alive in you
For what one man put you through
You say that we're all the same
But I'm called by no other name

We all need a place to run
Won't you let me be the one

[Chorus]

Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door
Just believe in this love
And don't be afraid anymore

I need you to please be strong
I've waited for you too long

[Chorus]

This time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away.
