To say it's love would be too simple
|
Too obvious
|
It's more like a calling, a vocation
|
Something I was
|
Put on this earth to do
|
Now I'm shooting with the stars
|
And I'm flying with the angels
|
And my heartbeat is a symphony the
|
Closer I get to you
|
I never saw you comin' till you
|
Came and here you are
|
I never thought someone
|
Would ever dare
|
To come this far
|
You're up for the resistance
|
And I'm strong in my persistence
|
And I've never known
|
A remedy like ours
|
If I can't have you
|
If I can't have you
|
I would be a river dried up
|
Into dust
|
I would be imprisoned
|
For ever having loved
|
If I can't have you
|
I don't wanna be me
|
Then I would be the same man
|
You scraped off the ground
|
I'd have to go back bein'
|
That broken soul you found
|
Those days are in the darkness
|
I buried them with hardness
|
And I'd have to dig those
|
Demons out
|
Your life is like anchor that puts
|
Me in my place
|
No you won't let me sink when
|
I'm off losin' my way
|
Thank God for your virtue
|
And the wisdom in your eye
|
Cause somehow you
|
Get through on
|
All that crazy in my mind
|
If I can't have you
|
If I can't have you
|
I would be a river
|
Dried up into dust
|
I would be imprisoned for never
|
Having loved
|
If I can't have you
|
I don't wanna be me
|
I don't wanna be me
|
Why did it take you so long to
|
Finally see
|
That we had a love
|
That you don't find easily
|
You broke my heart and the price
|
To pay for that
|
Is you'll have to live the misery of
|
Losing what you had
|
If I can't have you
|
My words have come to late
|
I've already turned that page
|
Don't you look at me that way
|
'Cause you'll pull me back and
|
That's the part I hate
|
I'll stay trapped inside my hell
|
Where it's so hot
|
That my walls melt
|
And I can hear a promise
|
In every lie you said
|
You'd never tell
|
If I had only told the truth
|
Oh I could never trust you to
|
You'll survive
|
No I will die
|
If I can't have you
|
If I can't have you
|
Then I'm sorry for the things I
|
Cost you in the end
|
My punishment is more than any
|
Man can stand
|
I need you in my life
|
I can't let go
|
Why don't you stay with me
|
Tonight
|
I feel alone
|
Turn off all the lights
|
Take me home
|
If I can't have you
|
If I can't have you
|
Then I would be a river
|
Dried up into dust
|
I would be imprisoned
|
For ever having loved
|
If I can't have you
|
I don't wanna be me
|
To say it's love would be too simple
|
