[Verse 1: Phil Collins] Could've given you everything that you need But I cannot turn back the years The perfect love was all you wanted from me But I cannot turn back the years [Chorus: Phil Collins] So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you Too bad I love you [Verse 2: Phil Collins] Sometimes hits me in the morning, hits me at night That I cannot turn back the years So I look out my window, turn off my light But I cannot turn back the years Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see Can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth People are hurting and they're looking to me And I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you [Bridge: Phil Collins] But I'm never going to (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) No i love you and I'm never going to (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) I'll keep holding on to you (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) And i'm never going to give it up (Give it up, give it up) [Verse 3: Phil Collins] All that I lived for, all that I dreamed But I cannot turn back the years You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breathe But I cannot turn back the years [Chorus: Phil Collins] So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you [Outro: Phil Collins] But I'm never gonna (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) No, no, no never gonna (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) It's here to stay and I'm never gonna (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) Never gonna give it up, never gonna (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) No I'm never gonna give it up Never gonna give it up (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) No I'm never gonna give it up (give it up) (Give it up, give it up) You know you mean too much to me
