(Tommy Shaw)
Haven't we been here before
Footsteps lead down to the note on the door

That says I can't stay here anymore

And haven't we felt this same way

Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same
To say I can't stay one minute more


You might think that it's hopeless
Beyond our control
But that's not necessarily so

Can't you see there's a chance
For the daring young soul
Who's finally learned to say no


No, I won't be misused
Ignored or refused

And I won't just give up and let go

So tonight hold me close to you

And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing can stand in our way


And I believe if we learn from the past
We'd find keys to unlock every door

Dark would turn into light
We'd be strong
We'd be right


So tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you

And as time rolls on
Nothing will stand in our way


And I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say haven't we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts

We'd find keys to unlock every door
Hearts could change overnight
We'd be strong...We'd be right

So stay with me now
The future is ours
And we'll be the ones who go on
