Stolen Wishes (1990)
Composed by John Murphy
---
Ooh, it's gonna hurt when we say goodbye
There's no need to let the tears fill up your eyes
It's not for me to say if it's really such a sin
The least of my concern is the shape I leave you in
Baby, so let it go - just let it go
Ooh, you've gotta give yourself some time
You know it never heals up overnight
I was a lot like you: trusting and naive
But soon beginners learn
It's better to give than to receive
Baby, so let it go - just let it go
Let it go now, baby
Come on and let it go
Ooh, we've gotta put our love to rest
Someday you'll realize it's for the best
It was a nasty thing to do behind your back
I know you think it's mean
But it takes all that I have
Baby, to let it go - just let it go
Let it go now, baby
Come on and let it go
