BEVERLEY MITCHELL LYRICS - The Ones Left Behind

"The Ones Left Behind"



Fast asleep and dreaming

Woke up, to the phone ringing

Looked at the clock, and I braced myself

It can't be good, at 4 a. m.



[Chorus:]

There is no reason

Why bad things happen to good people

I'm gonna hold on, even though, I wanna lose my mind

But I gotta stay stong, for the ones left behind



I've got memories of a smiling face

Nothing can fill, this empty space

There's no making right, what went wrong

Cherish what's left, and try to move on



[Chorus:]

There is no reason

Why bad things happen to good people

I'm gonna hold on, even though, I wanna lose my mind

But I gotta stay stong, for the ones left behind



Every night I say the same soft prayer

Watch over the ones that I love

Then I woke up, to my worse nightmare

Still I gotta have faith, in the One above



[CHORUS 2x:]

There is no reason

Why bad things happen to good people

I'm gonna hold on, even though, I wanna lose my mind

But I gotta stay stong, for the ones left behind
