I can’t shut my eyes without seeing your face
Reach for the pain that seems out of place
My head is hot, my knees are shaking
Can’t catch my breath, but my heart’s not aching
Looking into your eyes and seeing you smile
Stay locked in this dream if only a while
Purity drains and innocence lost
The hand holding my up is the final cost
Can I fake a smile that means the world to you?
Will I survive with just one; and can I be true?
They’ve walked out on me like dozens before
I don’t care what they say cuz it’s you I adore
I don’t need their crap and I won’t take this shit
I’ll grip my heart tight and start listening to it
I’ll stay with you; I won’t leave your side
Is it okay to be happy, or am I a lost bride?
This ring I hold dear is vanishing fast
Will love hold out for me? How long will it last?
My support gives in when you come close
But I know it’s your love I need the most
They can’t understand how I love you this way
My heart starts to race when I see you each day
I can’t shut my eyes without seeing your face
Reach for the pain that seems out of place
My head is hot, my knees are shaking
Can’t catch my breath, but my heart’s not aching
Looking into your eyes and seeing you smile
Stay locked in this dream if only a while
