So now love is gone
And I can't go on
Love is gone
I want to say, now it's just too late
Waited far too long

Shoulda told you then I knew
Shoulda told you right from the start, yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart

You meant more to me
Then I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness and your sweet caress
I miss you now

But a head strong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time he's a working man

Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left, after you fall
No not much no

I said love is gone
I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say but it's just too late
Waited far too long

Shoulda told you then I knew
Shoulda told you right from the start, yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart

Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left, after you fall
No not much no

Oh no not much
After the fall
After you fall
After you fall
