you are far
when I could have been your star
you listened to people 
who scared you to death 
and from my heart
strange that you were strong enough 
to even make a start
but you'll never find 
peace of mind
till you listen to your heart 

chorus
people
you can never change the way the feel 
better let them do just what they will 
for they will
if you let them 
steal your heart from you
people
will always make a lover feel a fool
but you knew I loved you
we could have shown them all
we should have seen love through

fooled me with the tears in your eyes 
covered me with kisses and lies 
so goodbye
but please don't take my heart 

you are far
I'm never gonna be your star 
I'll pick up the pieces
and mend my heart
maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
but I'll never find 
peace of mind
while I listen to my heart

chorus

but remember this 
every other kiss
that you'll ever give
long as we both live
when you need the hand of another man
one you really can surrender with
I will wait for you 
like I always do
there's something there
that can't compare with any other

you are far
when I could have been your star
you listened to people
who scared you to death 
and from my heart 
strange that I was wrong enough 
to think you'd love me too 
I guess you were kissing a fool
you must have been kissing a fool
