How we hurt each other... Oh baby it was so wrong, Something in the bottom of my heart Will keep me holdin' on. We were lovers In the young and strong and bold days, Turned ‘em into treasures, our silver and gold days. Even though we’re older There’s still nothin’ like the old days, Something in the bottom of my heart Will keep me holdin' on. Cause you saved my soul, You came along and took me out of the nighttime, Yeah, you saved my soul, Taught me to fly... And I gave my heart, And babe, it’s something that there’s just no returning... Cause if I have you now I’ll never have to make it alone. We were lovers, oooh...for so long, Every second record on the radio Seemed like our song.
