If the sun went down tomorrow
And it never came back
And the city went quiet
And we fade to black
I won’t have a single regret
And I wouldn’t trade a thing
Cause I never knew I could feel
What I feel inside of me

Chorus:
Better to have loved
Than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed
Than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved...you

I knew all the time I was taking a chance
When I’d stand there at the edge of the cliff
And no one was holding my hand
Well the wind blew strong
And the clouds rolled in
And I felt us lift off the ground
Yes I bared my soul and I dared to go
Knowing one day you might let me down

Chorus:
Better to have loved
Than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed
Than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved...you

I gave you everything
But you have said goodbye

Chorus:
Better to have loved
Than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed
Than never taken the fall
Better to have held you and let you in
Than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fallen to the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
Better to have loved...you
