Verse 1 (with riff A 4x):
I can’t believe this now
This isn’t what I planned
I lived and died and now
I just can’t understand
With all the love I feel
I could never leave her
No matter what the cost
My soul’s the price to see her

Oh how I love you
The pain won’t go away
Oh when I need you
You’re always so far away
I cry for you
Leaving myself to blame
I died for you
I gave up everything

Verse 2 (with riff A 4x, 3th + 4th time: play Fill 1)
The pain was just too much
When I finally saw her
She’s happy and in love
In love with my best friend
What makes it hurt so bad
is that I love them both
And they will never know
for love I sold my soul
