Riff 1 4x 

You were my sun, you were my earth  
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no  
So you took a chance, and made other plans  
But I bet you didn't think   
That they would come crashing down, no 

Riff 2 2x 

You don't have to say what you did

Now there's just no chance   
For you and me, there'll never be  
And don't it make you sad about it
