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 never 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 an 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 Me, my words have come to late

I've already turned that page

Don't you look at me that way

'Cause you'll throw 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

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 never having loved

If I can't have you I don't wanna be me To say it's love would be too simple
