The phone rings in my ear
and I wait to hear your voice.
Seconds tick by
and still it rings.
My heart skips a beat
when I finally hear your hello,
only to drop an instant later
when I realize it's your voicemail.
I drink in your words
though they're not to me.
Dare I leave a message?
Dare I try and guess
what's going on?
You know I just can't let you go.
Because for the first time
in a long time,
my heart is truly happy.
I see your face,
I look in your eyes,
and I glimpse the smile in your heart.
Feeling your lips on mine
is just a taste of heaven.
No one else can make me feel this way!
I feel your presence
close by my side
all throughout my dreams at night.
But now I feel you slipping away.
I can't let you go.
I can't let you leave.
Please, please, just come back to me.
I don't care what they say.
I don't care what they do,
just as long as I can be with you.
They might yell,
and they might curse,
but if you're gone, my heart would burst.
So, baby, please don't go.
Baby, please don't leave.
I'm wearing my heart upon my sleeve.
You can see my hurts,
you can see my fears,
piled up throughout the years,
and you have to know,
you have to see,
just how much you mean to me.
I don't care how scared I am.
I don't care 'bout what they do.
I'll do all I can to stay with you.
They might cry,
and they might scream.
You know exactly what I mean.
So, baby, please don't go.
Baby, please don't leave.
Your love is the air I breathe.
You say you want it to work,
you say that you want to stay.
I know that this isn't a game to play.
My heart is yours,
and yours is mine.
Love has made us blind.
So just don't go,
just don't leave,
you can stay right here with me.
