The right to sing, the right to play.
The right to do the things I feel in my own way.
And if you took it all and asked me to pretend,
you'd be breaking a heart that won't mend.
The right to win, the right to lose.
The right to fall in love with anyone I choose.
And when it's my mistake and everything goes wrong
I would write what I feel in a song.

Additional quotes by John Miles Foley

No hard feelings, no tears, no pain.
No hard feelings, no fears remain.
I could see you slowly drifting away
like a vision into the wall
but I've got no hard feelings,
I've got no feelings at all.
No hard feelings, no cold goodbyes.
No hard feelings, too old and wise.
"And what happened to forever?", they say,
"A lifetime seems so small."
But I've got no hard feelings,
I've got no feelings at all.

Misty silence of the early morning.
All around another day is dawning.
Goodbyes ain't easy,
so no-one sees me when I go.
Only time is gonna last forever.
Just remember what we had together.
I must be leavin'
and I can't even let it show.
I am on my way,
Remember Yesterday.
