lyrics

You used to be there all of the time
You were so close to me
Your touch always made me feel so fine..
It was so easy to see

Pre Chorus:
Why I leaned on you, to lead me through
To guide me through the maze
But now I’m through and you are too
And /boy now it’s time for a change..

CHORUS
I don’t regret it..
Leaving you behind
I won’t forget you, still glad I met you..
But I had to leave you behind..

V 2
In the beginning it was such a thrill
Like a roller coaster ride
But your fire has started to chill
The water in the well has run dry

Pre Chorus:
But I still wanted you , to lead me through
To guide me through the haze
But now I’m through and you are too
And I know it’s time for a change..

Chorus
I don’t regret it..
Leaving you behind
I won’t forget you, still glad I met yo.
But I had to leave you behind, had to leave you behind

You’re fading away -
Quick and far - like a shooting star
Now your lights have dimmed
You’re just flicker of what you were
Chorus
But I don’t regret it..
Leaving you behind
I won’t forget you, still glad I met you
But I had to leave you behind,

Repeat Chorus:

I don’t regret it..
Leaving you behind
I won’t forget you, still glad I met you
But I had to leave you behind,

Had to leave you behind oh yeah
Leave you behind, yeah yeah
Had to leave you behind oh yeah
Leave you behind
Had to leave you behind
