Blink of an eye

I woke up this morning, coffee gone cold,

Staring at a picture of the girl I let go.

Funny how forever can disappear overnight,

One wrong turn, one bad word,

And everything changes in a blink of an eye.

I had your hand, I had your heart,

Had a front-row seat to the best part.

But I got lost somewhere along the way,

Now I’m standing here with nothing left to say.

If I could turn back those hands of time,

I’d hold you closer and swallow my pride.

But the past won’t change, so all I can do

Is spend every tomorrow trying to get back to you.

Nena, I’d give it all, every dollar, every mile,

Every sleepless night just to see your smile.

I’d walk through the fire, I’d crawl through the rain,

I’d take every heartbreak, I’d carry every blame.

‘Cause losing you showed me what losing it all feels like,

How a whole damn life can disappear in a blink of an eye.

And if there’s still a road that leads me back to you,

Nena, I’ll give it everything I’ve got to do.

I’ve learned some lessons these lonely nights,

About love, about trust, about doing things right.

I can’t erase the tears or undo yesterday,

But I can promise you I’ll never run away.

I don’t want to hold our past against you,

And I don’t want you holding mine against me.

Maybe all those scars are just reminders

Of the people we were never meant to stay.

So if your heart’s got just a little room,

I’ll meet you halfway underneath that moon.

No more excuses, no more pride,

Just me standing here with nothing to hide.

Nena, I’d give it all, every dollar, every mile,

Every sleepless night just to see your smile.

I’d walk through the fire, I’d crawl through the rain,

I’d take every heartbreak, I’d carry every blame.

‘Cause losing you showed me what losing it all feels like,

How a whole damn life can disappear in a blink of an eye.

And if there’s still a road that leads me back to you,

Nena, I’ll give it everything I’ve got to do.

Maybe we can’t go back to where we began,

Maybe we’ve gotta build it with our own two hands.

But if you’ll let me, I’ll spend every day

Showing you my love ain’t another thing I’ll throw away.

Nena, I’d give it all, my heart and my soul,

Every piece of the man I’m fighting to become whole.

I’ll earn back your trust, one day at a time,

Put my heart on the line and leave the past behind.

‘Cause I lost everything in a blink of an eye,

But I’d spend the rest of my life trying to make it right.

And if there’s even one chance you’re still mine,

Nena, I’ll fight for you until the end of time.

Yeah, I lost it all in a blink of an eye…

But I’m giving it all to bring you back into my life.

Nena…
