[Chorus]
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
[Verse 1]
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever

[Pre-Chorus]

Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
[Guitar Solo]

Turning further every day
[Chorus]

Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
[Outro]

(Do you believe what I sing now?)
Just where I was before you appeared
(Do you believe?)
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
