when there´s no more looking back
and you feel you´ve loved in vain
you try and hide your sorrow
now you´re alone again
so you block out your emotion
laugh it off and carry on
sayin´ why do i have to feel this way
was loving you so wrong

if i could only turn around
one more time for old time´s sake
i´d pick up all the pieces
from the mistakes i made
did i give myself completely
or did i hang on for too long
ah, but what´s the use of me talking this way
now that you´re gone

no looking back, it´s over now
all over now
i tell myself i´m glad
it´s over now
all over now
it´s over now

but if i ever love again
oh, i won´t be played a fool
i´ll put in my performance
this time i´ll know the moves
it´s not that i´m feeling bitter
i´ve no bitterness to show
and all i´m really trying to say
is that i wish i´d never let you go
