  • Sorry, I know I'm late
    Guess I lost all track of time
    Started walking and couldn't stop
    Turning it over in my mind
    Tried to make some sense of it
    Trying to make the pieces fit
    I thought I covered my tracks so well
    But now he says he knew about it from the start

    Yeah, he knew about us all along
    If there was any other way
    No, don't you think I've tried to find it?
    Don't you think I want to stay?
    If there was any other way
    No, there's no way out of this
    There just ain't any other way

    Mmmm
    Maybe I'd better be leaving now
    But there's something
    I want you to understand before I go
    Sometimes we don't have a choice
    When we think and break the rules
    I just have to see you, darlin'
    One more time if only just to say goodbye

    'Cause he knew about us all the time
    If there was any other way
    No, don't you think I've tried to find it?
    Don't you think I want to stay?
    If there was any other way
    No, there's no way out of this
    There just ain't any other way

    I never wanted it to be like this
    I never meant to get serious
    And now the thought of losing you
    Takes some getting used to

    If there was any other way
    No, don't you think I've tried to find it?
    Don't you think I want to stay?
    If there was any other way
    No, there's no way out of this
    There just ain't any other way

    If there was any other way
    No, don't you think I've tried to find it?
    Don't you don't think I want to stay? Writer/s: Paul Bliss

  • Shreyas from Mumbai, IndiaBeautiful way she (Celine Dion) has sung it! After singing this song she clearly had indirectly taunted her rivals through the line "Don't you think I want to stay?"
