`No matter how much you think you want or need it, the past has to remain just that, the past...`
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
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
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
But I`m never gonna give it up
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
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
But I`m never gonna give it up
