I close my eyes A blind and cold hearted fool Last night I lost my mind And came so close to losin' you So close to losin' you Misread your smile (Misread your smile) Misunderstood your tears Ignored the pleading voice And every sigh (Every sigh) Even your words of love I would not listen It's a lesson I'll never forget No communication gave rise to fear Tell me, who's to blame? What I really meant to tell you I panicked 'Cause I would die if something happened to you (If something happened to you) I'd die if something would But I'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways Some of my cruel ways Maybe it's good (Maybe it's good) Maybe it was meant to be There was no other way you could get through (You could get through) And now it's my turn to get through to you, baby It's a lesson I'll never forget And no communication gave rise to fear (Ooh, ooh) Tell me, who's to blame? (Hey) What I really meant to tell you I need you I need you And I would die if something happened to you (If something happened to you) I'd die if something would Would I try to tell you? (I love you) And I would die if something happened to you (If something happened to you) I'd die if something would Ohh ohh ohh ohh Even then your words of love I won't listen It's a lesson (Ohh lesson) I'll never forget (Forget) No communication gave rise to fear Tell me, who's to blame? What I try to tell you, baby? What I meant to tell you, darlin'? Wouldn't live without you, honey Couldn't live without you (I wouldn't live without you) If only you are with me, baby (No) If only you are with me, darlin' 'Cause I've been waiting for you, honey (Ohh, I've been waitin') I've been waiting for you What I try to tell you? I'd die if something would But I close my eyes A blind and cold hearted fool Last night I lost my mind And came so close to losin' you So close to losin' you Mmm, haa aaa, so close to losin' you
