Thank You
IAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time i walked an easy road
Didn't think i needed anyone.
I could make it on my own
Never thought about tomorrow, just livin' day to day
Never thought these clouds would come along
And bring me so much pain
When my world was upside down
I didn't think that i could make it,
Reached out my hand for you
And you were there to take it

[Chorus]
I want to thank you
For being my strength when i thought i couldn't go on
And i want to thank you
Be,
'til i get over you¡­

Walked through the park, in the evening air
I heard a voice and i thought you were there
I run away but i just can't escape
Memories of you everywhere
They say that time will dry the tears
But true love burns for a thousand years
Give my tomorrows for one yesterday
Just to know that i could have you here

When will this river of tears stop fallin'
Where can i run so i won't feel alone
Can't walk away when the pain keeps callin'




I've just gotta take it from here on my own
But it's so hard to let go
