The jig is up
I miss you too my love
I miss you too my love
I miss you too my love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
I know that you got
But I don't care
I need you right here
(Right here, right here)
All I gave is thrown away
Gave is thrown away
All I have is on the way
Have is on the way
Way, way, way, way, way
Way
What can I say
You take the pain away
What can I say, what can I say
What can I say
You make better days
What can I say, what can I
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
You run
I hide
What's the use in being alone all your life
I come from
A place where
Nobody cared
Nobody cared
Nobody cared
What can I say
You take the pain away
(Nobody cared)
What can I say, what can I say
What can I say
You make better days
What can I say, what can I
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Alright
The jig is up
I miss you too my love
I miss you too my love
I miss you too my love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
