I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with you
Right by your side
Just give me the strength, and I will help you
And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me
It is written in the book
It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't
Know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right
Ooh the time has come now
We must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you
And your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you its too late to change now
Theres nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Ah you let me down!
... But wait a minute, I don't understand
Its getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
I can only stay if youve the will to keep me here
It is written in the book
Oh so many times since I've read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
I held the book so tightly in my hands, I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning You gave no reason But I was with you Right by your side Just give me the strength, and I will help you And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me It is written in the book It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't Know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe, you could make it right Ooh the time has come now We must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you And your heart is empty Whatever happened to you its too late to change now Theres nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah you let me down! ... But wait a minute, I don't understand Its getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me? I'm slipping away I can only stay if youve the will to keep me here It is written in the book Oh so many times since I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me? Explain Request ×
