The Other Ones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, I know where we can go for awhile
Don't stand there all alone
I've come to bring you home
Take my hand, let's go

Why, you left without a sound, thought you'd found
You're dream in just a day
I had no time to say

I'll watch you run from mistakes

CHORUS
I feel like crying
Oo, it's hard to say goodbye
It makes me feel like crying
Looking through my window
Oo, so long ago

Hold on to what you know, come the day
Be young and free again
Life is love and pain
The hurt will go away

One day you'll find a
Way through your heartache
No, don't stand there in the rain
Looking for the way to go alone

CHORUS

I feel like crying
Oh, it's hard to say goodbye
And it makes me feel like, I feel like crying
So long ago

Looking out my window
Times have gone so fast
When we were together
The hurt would never last

Thinking of the years we had

CHORUS

I feel like crying
Looking through my window
Oo, so long ago

Oo, it's hard to say goodbye
It makes me feel like crying
