[Open]
How do I tell you exactly how I feel?
Whenever I go to tell you the words I choke.
And the way I feel about you isn't a joke.
Just by the way you speak to me
I can tell that there's no way were meant to be
And you know I would give anything in the world
If I could only make you mine
[Verse one]
If I could have you by my side
To hold you hand in mine
But life is passing me by
The days are long and nights are endless
When I stay up late at night thinking,
I'm always thinking about you
The truth is baby your always on my mind
[Chorus]
I can't go on without making you mine
Maybe I'll let go over time
But you make me feel so divine
I want to be held in your arms
To feel your warmth and know that I'm safe
I don't want to let you go
But I'll never have you as mine
[Verse two]
To try to put my feelings into words is nearly impossible
To tell you how much I love you would take a lifetime
To explain to you would be the hardest thing to do
Like trying to explain the color red to someone who cant see
No matter how long I go at it or what words I use
You will never understand how I feel about you
But I love you will have to do
[Verse three]
I know you may never feel the same way I do
But to know that you care about me in some way
Gives me the strength to move on to tomorrow
And maybe someday I can hold your hand
And know you feel the same
I have dreams of tomorrow
And in everyone I see your face
[Chorus]
I can't go on without making you mine
Maybe I'll let go over time
But you make me feel so divine
I want to be held in your arms
To feel your warmth and know that I'm safe
I don't want to let you go
But I'll never have you as mine
[Verse five]
I guess there's no way I could make you see how much you mean to me
But there is no way ill ever let this feeling be
I'll walk a million miles if it could make you understand
Some things aren't meant to be known
But I can't keep this locked up inside of me forever
Would one thousand love songs be clearer to you?
I'm willing to do anything for you if it will set us free
[Verse six]
They say that love is blind
I would rather go blind then risk losing you for good
They say that love has no second chances
I'm willing to give you chance after chance to keep you in my life
If I had to give up my life for you I would
But before I left I would tell you the most important words
No matter what has happened I've loved you and I always will
[Chorus]
I can't go on without making you mine
Maybe I'll let go over time
But you make me feel so divine
I want to be held in your arms
To feel your warmth and know that I'm safe
I don't want to let you go
But I'll never have you as mine
[End]
And I can't go on without you
Because without you I'm nothing
You're what makes me complete
Every breath I take is for you
Every tear dropped is for you
Every fear is about you
About losing you for life
