There's a pale moon in the sky The kind you make your wishes on Oh, like the light in your eyes The one I built my dreams upon It's not there any longer Something happened somewhere and we both know why But me, I'm getting stronger We must stop pretending I can't live this life I don't care who's wrong or right I don't really want to fight no more (too much talking babe) Let's sleep on it tonight I don't really want to fight no more This is time for letting go I hear a whisper in the air It simply doesn't bother me Oh, can't you see that I don't care Or are you you looking right through me It seems to me that lately You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry Could it be that maybe This crazy situation is the reason why I don't care who's wrong or right I don't really want to fight no more (too much talking babe) Let's sleep on it tonight I don't really want to fight no more (tired of all these games) But baby, don't you know That I don't want to hurt no more (it's time, I'm walking, babe) Don't care now who's to blame I don't really want to fight no more This is time for letting go Hanging on to the past It only stands in our way We had to grow for our love to last But we just grew apart No, I don't want to hurt no more But baby, don't you know No, I don't want to hurt no more (too much talking, babe) So let's sleep on it tonight I don't really want to fight no more This is time for letting go No, I don't want to hurt no more (too much, hey baby) Don't care now who's to blame I don't really want to fight no more 'Cause it's time for letting go
