Some things you do, go unnoticed
Never say a word, but you just carry on
Sometimes your hurting, but I'm not listening
When I should be the one you rely upon

And it will take more than tonight
But I'd love to say it right - 'cos I know

Baby I'm a fool for always taking
Made me realise the mess I'm making
Gonna be the one whos heart is breaking too
Now my time is running out - too late for talking
I'd do anything to stop you walking
You don't have to wait but baby I'm a fool
But boy if you're gone - please leave the light on

Things I promised, birthdays I missed
So many wasted opportunities
Times that you tried, crying inside
To open up the door and just get through to me

And it will take more than tonight
But I'd love to say it right - 'cos I know

Baby I'm a fool for always taking
Made me realise the mess I'm making
Gonna be the one whos heart is breaking too
Now my time is running out - too late for talking
I'd do anything to stop you walking
You don't have to wait but baby I'm a fool
But boy if you're gone - please leave the light on

I know there's no point denying, it's a moutain I'm climbing
And I pray, you're gonna give one more chance
T o make it right and stay

Baby I'm a fool for always taking
Made me realise the mess I'm making
Gonna be the one whos heart is breaking too
Now my time is running out - too late for talking
I'd do anything to stop you walking
You don't have to wait but baby I'm a fool
But boy if you're gone - please leave the light on
