| Lyrics: | Verse 1 I can tell you that you’re never gonna be alone again I can tell you those lonely nights are done I can tell you that you can always run to me And you’ll always be safe in my arms But I won’t be the one that you dream about when you fall asleep tonight So don’t come callin’ on me when things don’t turn out right, because Chorus I don’t want to be in second place, don’t want a broken heart, don’t want to be in the race To win the love of someone who belongs to someone else So I’ll keep my balance and save my heart, for love that’s true and a brand new start I don’t wanna hold onto part of you If I can’t have all of you tonight Verse 2 You can tell me that you dream about me day and night You can tell me that it hurts to see me go You can tell me that you really only want the best for me And what you want, you don’t know But I won’t be the one who holds you close as you fall asleep tonight So don’t come cryin’ to me when things don’t work out right, because Chorus I don’t want to be in second place, don’t want a broken heart, don’t want to be in the race To win the love of someone who belongs to someone else So I’ll keep my balance and save my heart, for love that’s true and a brand new start I don’t wanna hold onto part of you If I can’t have all of you tonight |
