Tragedy
Steps (Pop) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Going home
I just can't make it all alone
I really why should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you
You're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you
You're going nowhere

Night and day
There's a burning down inside of me, oh
Burning love with a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you
You're going nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you
You're going nowhere

Tragedy
When the feelin's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you
You're goin' nowhere

Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and the high just dies
It's hard to bear




With no one beside you
You're going nowhere

Here at night
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a wad of tears I slowly drown
Going home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you
holding you , loving you
Loving you

Tragedy...
When the feelings gone
And you can't go on it's
Tragedy...
When the morning cries
And you don't know why , it's
Hard to bear
With no-one to love you
Your going nowhere
Tragedy...

When you lose control
And you got no soul , it's
Tragedy...
When the morning cries
And you don't know why , it's
Hard to bear
With no-one beside you
Your goin' nowhere

Night and day
There's a burnin' down
inside of me
Burnin' love
With a yearning that won't
Let me be
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you , loving you
Loving you

When the feelings gone
And you can't go on it's

And you don't know why , it's

When you lose control
And you got no soul , it's
Tragedy...
When the morning cries
And your heart just dies
Hard to bear
With no-one beside you
Your goin' nowhere

As a child of the 90s the nostalgia hits hard! I love the fact Faye, Claire and Lisa had their own dads walk them down the aisle ❀️

@georgesullivan4473

As far as music videos go this one is right up there. Lisa, the shortest lady in the band is radiant, don't like the tall blonde lady at start as she is pretty fake

@priscillataylor2245

She’s so pretty

@clairelouise5478

@@georgesullivan4473Faye is stunning and definitely not fake, she just had her own style.
