Closing my eyes I see your face,
In a misty cold familiar place.
I try to touch but you're not there.
Now as the brightness hurts my eyes,
I know I've lost life's only prize,
Just drifted to another world.

(chorus)
Never gonna take you back,
Not even for the first time,
It's all the same to me.
You, you mean everything to me,
The very air I breathe.
Who could believe that
They would take you away?

You don't discover 'till she's gone,
The empty spaces one by one,
And all the things you never said.
If I could only see you again
Build a life we never knew
But time is taking you instead

(chorus)
Never gonna take you back,
Not even for the first time,
It's all the same to me.
You, you mean everything to me,
The very air I breathe.
Who could believe that
They would take you away?

Well, you, you mean everything to me
The very air I breathe.
Who could believe that
They would take you away?
You, you mean everything to me
The very air I breathe.
Who could believe that they would?
