Maybe I could have changed your mind,
Maybe you would have thought about someone else,
Rather than yourself,
Anybody but yourself.

And I know you felt lonely,
I know people try to get you down,
And all around those laughing faces,
Single you out in a crowd.

I tried so hard to help you understand,
To put some hope into your hands,
All the time you cried and said to me,
Why can't everything be right?
Each time I have to put up a fight,
And the world keeps on winning,
The world keeps on winning.

Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight.

The thought that you wouldn't be here,
The thought that I wouldn't see these tears fall,
And all these lonely times,
I'm feeling without you,
Knowing I don't have you through it all.

Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight.
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you at all.
