I removed your picture from my wall Now what used to be a house too big Is now a room too small Everytime I close my eyes I'd realize I couldn't find enough things to do I never really got over you I wrote you letters I got no reply And just when I was walking out on Love To my surprise Don't you wanna come inside Where it's warm and dry Instead of standing in the doorway With tears in your eyes This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side I fought off heartaches, one by one And when I was about to give up I'd realize the day was gone Everytime I'd close my eyes I'd see you cry I can't forget the look on your face Baby when I said goodbye I read your letters each and every night With intent and pen in hand I was much too weak to write Every night I'd pace the floor until I couldn't take it anymore I was just about to give up Then you opened the door This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side Before we went wrong, you know We used to be so right I know we should surrender to love But we gave up without a fight I just wanna let you know I never should've let you go Boy I wanna be back in your arms So let's try it once More This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side This time -- I won't back down This time -- I'll stand my ground I don't think you realize What went on inside Now I'm never gonna give up Until I'm back by your side
