[Verse 1]
Every night and every day
My heart feels the pain
I wake up to the thought of you
And I call your name
[Pre-Chorus]
No one ever made me feel the way you do
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
But now I've got to let go
[Chorus]
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, whoa, it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart
[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd be the one
Who would play the fool
But I know love can feel so good
And can be so cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
It's clear to me the writing is on the wall
It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all
And I can't go on this way
[Chorus]
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, whoa, it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart
[Bridge]
I'm standing at the door
Don't need this hurt no more
I'm crying out in vain
'Cause you don't feel my pain, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it was always going to be this way
Maybe I'll look back and understand some day
But now I've got to say
[Chorus]
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, my tender heart
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
With my tender heart
We don't stand a chance
In this wild romance, oh, it hurts so bad
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
I can't hold on to my tender heart
[Outro]
My tender heart
