[Verse]
Shadows hanging over this town 
Dreams gone to waste like broken bottles 
What goes up, must come back down 
when karma comes around, my dear
These empty streets I walk around 
I feel reality hits you stronger 
I feel the pain has brought me down
I can't hold on to it much longer 
So why must we fight we're in love 
Watch the time pass us by , my dear
With every second that I looked into your eyes,
I gave you my heart, my dear
AmI can't change what I've dGone in my lifeF  
This I kAmnow: It has mGade me a better Fman
With every secoAmnd that you loGoked into my eyFes,
I gave you my hAmeart, my deaGrF  
Oh, I can't chaAmnge what I've dGone in my lifeF  
This I kAmnow: It has mGade me a better Fman
With every secoAmnd that you loGoked into my eyFes,
I gave you my hAmeart, my deaGrF  
[Outro]
So why Ammust we figGht wearing lovFe
Watch the tiAmme passes bGy, my dearF  
With every secoAmnd that you loGoked into my eyFes,
I gave you my hAmeart, my deaGrF

[Verse]

Shadows hanging over this town

Dreams gone to waste like broken bottles

What goes up, must come back down

when karma comes around, my dear

These empty streets I walk around

I feel reality hits you stronger

I feel the pain has brought me down

I can't hold on to it much longer

So why must we fight we're in love

Watch the time pass us by , my dear

With every second that I looked into your eyes,

I gave you my heart, my dear

Am G F

I can't change what I've done in my life

Am G F

This I know: It has made me a better man

Am G F

With every second that you looked into my eyes,

Am G F

I gave you my heart, my dear

Am G F

Oh, I can't change what I've done in my life

Am G F

This I know: It has made me a better man

Am G F

With every second that you looked into my eyes,

Am G F

I gave you my heart, my dear

[Outro]

Am G F

So why must we fight wearing love

Am G F

Watch the time passes by, my dear

Am G F

With every second that you looked into my eyes,

Am G F

I gave you my heart, my dear
