I've sat here watching the weeks and the months go by, Wondering why it is that I'm still hurting inside. 'Cause every single day I keep this in, I betray my heart. Heaven knows where it's been. I've gotta find a way to be with you again. All I've got left of us are these memories, Of you and me together and the way that love should be. As I'm taking your picture down from the wall, I'm reminded without you, I'm nothing at all. Was I just setting myself up for a fall? Well my heart still skips a beat when I hear your name. And every time I see you I still feel the same. I'm not the same person since you've been gone. I'm praying you come back and so I'm still holding on. I miss the way I feel when I'm with you, 'Cause living life without you is more than I'm willing to do. And I'd give anything to hold you tonight. For this being wrong, it never felt so right. Without you girl I'm only half alive. Well my heart still skips a beat when I hear your name. And every time I see you I still feel the same. I'm not the same person since you've been gone. I'm praying you come back and so I'm still holding on. I've replayed in my head a thousand times All the words I wish I could say. 'Cause we got something worth fighting for And I can't just walk away. Well my heart still skips a beat when I hear your name. And every time I see you I still feel the same. I'm not the same person since you've been gone. I'm praying you come back and so I'm still holding on. Because my heart can't beat, And I cant' sleep. I'm not the same. I'm still here holding on.

I can't believe you've got me feelin' this way. I didn't think it would happen to me so soon. I don't know how this came to be but I, I can't stand when I'm not with you. Well you could be all I need. And I'm willing to make a bet. I'm everything you've been looking for, But you just don't know it yet. So when it's time to say goodnight And we both know I have to leave, I know that I'll see you tomorrow, But that won't be soon enough for me. 'Cause when it's time to say goodbye And we both know I have to leave, Goodbye won't be for very long, Because I'll see you in my dreams. Where have you been all my life? Why does this feeling feel so much? Why did it take me so long to find you? Why does it take me so long to forget about your touch? So when it's time to say goodnight And we both know I have to leave, I know that I'll see you tomorrow, But that won't be soon enough for me. 'Cause when it's time to say goodbye And we both know I have to leave, Goodbye won't be for very long, Because I'll see you in my dreams. We got all the time in the world. We've got forever, just you and me. And judging by the way I feel right now, That won't be long enough for, No it's not long enough for me.

This is how the fairy-tale goes, The greatest story ever told. It begins with being young and in love, And doesn't end at growing old. You've got your hands wrapped so tight, Around my heart. I really shouldn't be surprised. It's been that way from the start. I know it's gotta be hard to believe, But there's somethin' more you should know. As good as this is, this ain't as good as it gets, We got a lotta love to go. You can't tell me that this just happened. That this is all coincidence. There's more at work here than just me and you. Me and you... I know it's gotta be hard to believe, But there's somethin' more you should know. As good as this is, this ain't as good as it gets, We got a lotta love to go. I've never really let myself believe, But after today I know. As good as this is, this ain't as good as it gets, We got a lotta love to go. You know we've seen some ups and downs, But I know together, We can push those rain clouds away. 'Til the sun comes out. It feels so good on our skin. It feels so good. I know it's gotta be hard to believe, But there's somethin' more you should know. As good as this is, this ain't as good as it gets, We got a lotta love to go. I've never really let myself believe, But after today I know. As good as this is, this ain't as good as it gets, We got a lotta love to go. We got a lotta love to go. We got a lotta love to go. We got a lotta love to go. We got a lotta love to go.

My Defense 03:57
Now I know this might sound crazy. I'm sure that you've heard this before. Logic tells me that this shouldn't be, Yet I'm still at your door. There's no explanation. No reason, no rhyme. There's just this thing called the way that I feel, And it's making me out of my mind. 'Cause it's so much more than the way you smile. It's more than a look driving me wild. So girl, I'll be honest. Nothing about this makes any sense. 'Cause without even trying, You're bringing down my defense. I've spent years building walls, Just to keep me from falling apart. I've tried so hard to keep love outside, But I'm ready to make a new start. So girl, I'll be honest. Nothing about this makes any sense. 'Cause without even trying, You're bringing down my defense. And I've been waiting so long. I can't believe this is coincidence. 'Cause without even trying, You're bringing down my defense. 'Cause it's so much more than the way you smile. It's more than a look driving me wild. So girl, I'll be honest. Nothing about this makes any sense. 'Cause without even trying, You're bringing down my defense. And I've been waiting so long. There's no use denying, we've got evidence. 'Cause without even trying, You're bringing down my defense.

Questions 04:40
What's going on here? Why have you been so long? I try and understand dear, Where did we go wrong? People say the world's gone crazy, But through my eyes it's still the same. I wonder what you think baby. Can you feel the pain? I've been alone for years, Or is it days? I see you standing there my dear, And I wonder what has changed. Is it our lives my dear? Or are they still the same? What is the difference? Is it all in me? If you only had my mind, Maybe you could see. School and the folks we live with, They just don't understand. If I could only kiss you lips then, My life would be grand. I've been alone for years, Or is it days? I see you standing there my dear, And I wonder what has changed. Is it our lives my dear? Or are they still the same? I've been alone for years, Or is it days? And I see you standing there my dear... I've been alone for years, Or is it days? I see you standing there my dear, And I wonder what has changed. Is it our lives my dear? Or are they still the same?
