You never get to see how beautiful it is

Until you taste my tears, sorrow won't be official

Baby I understand you fully

Keeping my promises

My heart is now yours

Repeatedly close my eyes
Repeatedly closing eyes, perhaps to relive memories.
To see your face again

And I hug myself to sleep

Pretend it's your arms around me

Hands...on my skin

Baby I'm there for you

Some mornings I could just let you go

See I'm not a kind of girl that falls easily

But then I saw you, but then I saw you...
