Living Or Dying

I once heard someone say
Everybody has that one that got away
You were that one for me
Heavy on my heart until recently
I couldn't tell you that though
Had to bear it alone
You might feel the same but
I guess we'll never know

We stood there face to face
We both were crying
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If we're living or dying
Are we better together
Or better on our own
Sometimes when you love her
You've got to let her go

It's hard to let go of a thing
You hold so close
You commit to somebody
Just to watch them go
It's true that I made mistakes
And I'll take the blame
But penitent hindsight
Does nothing for pain

We stood there face to face
We both were crying
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If we're living or dying
Are we better together
Or better on our own
Sometimes when you love her
You've got to let her go

I wanted to see you
All last week
If only to catch a glimpse
And not to speak
But though I searched desperately
You never entered my view
Until I fell asleep
Last night and dreamed of you

And we
Stood there face to face
We both were crying
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If we're living or dying
Are we better together
Or better on our own
Sometimes when you love her
You've got to let her know

We stood there face to face
We both were crying
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If we're living or dying
Cause we're better together
Not better on our own
Sometimes when you love her
You've got to let her know

We stood there face to face
We both were crying
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If we're living...
