If I had the chance, love, I would not hesitate

To tell you all the things I’d never said before

 Don’t tell me it’s too late ‘cause I’ve re-lied on my illu-sions

To keep me warm at night

 And I denied in my capa-city to love

Nothing seems to help me since you went away

 I’m so tired of this town where every tongue is wa---gging

 Where every back is turned

They’re telling secrets that should never be revealed

 There’s nothing to be gained from this but disaster

 Here’s a good one – did you hear about my friend?

 He’s embarrassed to be seen now ‘cause we all know his sins

If I had the chance, love, I know I would not hesitate

To tell you all the things I’d never said before

 Don’t tell me it’s too late ‘cause I’ve re-lied on my illu-sions

To keep me warm at night

 And I denied in my capa-city to love

 But I am willing to give up this fight

 Oh, I am willing to give up this fight
