Never has it been so hard
To push a little song
Through my lips
Never in my life til now
And never did someone I know
Teach a broken heart
To love again somehow
Never in my life til now
But til now is then turned to might have been
And here in solitude I finally realize

I was pushing too hard
Trying to make you feel
What you weren't yet feeling
Pushing too hard (oooooo)
Wanting so much to know (oooo ooo)
That we'd see this all the way through
But losing you
Would cut me like a knife
So please don't let me
Push you out of my life
(please don't let me, ooo)

Never will words come again
Quite so sweet and warm
As when I spoke your name
Never in my life, I know
And never could I be so bold
Once again to reach and hold
The stars above
Never in my life, my love (echoed)
But it was not my part
To be rushing your heart
With time your only wish
I should have granted it

But I was pushing too hard (aaah)
Trying to make you feel (aaah)
What you weren't yet feeling (echoed)
Pushing too hard (aaah)
Wanting so much to know (aaaah)
That we'd see this all the way through
But losing you
Would cut me like a knife
So please don't let me (aaaah)
Push you out of my life (aaaah)

Each night I pray (echoed)
That it was just too soon
And now that it is not too late
Someone like you
Far between and so few
All I can do is wait (ooooo)

Why was I pushing too hard (aaah)
Trying to make you feel (aaah)
What you weren't yet feeling (aaah)
Pushing too hard (echoed)
Wanting so much to know (aaah)
That we'd see this all the way through (aaah)
But losing you
Would cut me like a knife (aaah)

(so please) so please don't let me
(tell me) tell me I have not
Pushed you out of my life
(ooooo¦)
