I'm standing here paralyzed
|
So helpless right before your eyes
|
And all that you can seem to do is look away
|
I know this weight that's on my shoulders
|
Is telling me it's really over
|
And now goodbye's the only thing that's left to say
|
|
You were always worth the risk
|
But how'd it come to this
|
|
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
|
I Let you have the best of me
|
But you wouldn't let me love you
|
You couldn't let me love you
|
I tried to give you what you need
|
But it took so long to finally see
|
That you wouldn't let me love you
|
Couldn't let me love you
|
|
Somehow you said all the right things
|
To cover up the pain you're hiding
|
And never let me in close enough to touch
|
You live with all these walls around you
|
Impossible for me to break through
|
And baby even I can only fight so much
|
|
And it's cutting me so deep
|
Promises I tried to keep
|
|
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
|
I let you have the best of me
|
But you wouldn't let me love you
|
You couldn't let me love you
|
I lied to give you what you need
|
But it took so long to finally see
|
That you wouldn't let me love you
|
Couldn't let me love you
|
|
And you should have been the one
|
The more I love, the more you run
|
|
I opened up my heart to bleed
|
I let you have the best of me
|
But you wouldn't let me love you
|
You couldn't let me love you
|
I tried to give you what you need
|
But it took so long to finally see
|
That you wouldn't let me love you
|
Couldn't let me love you
|
|
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
|
You wouldn't let me love you
|
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
|
|
I'm standing here paralyzed
|
So helpless right before your eyes
|
And all that you can do is look away
|
|

Wouldn't Let Me Love You
