Lyrics

I held the book so tightly in my hands,

I tightly held the book in my hands.

I saw your picture, heard you call my name

I saw your picture and heard you calling my name.

There was something strange, I could not look away

There was something strange, and I couldn't look away.

I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

I desired to be there, I wanted to go.


You gave me no warning

You provided no warning.

You gave no reason

You gave no reason.

But I was with you

But I was with you.

Right by your side

Right by your side.

Just give me the strength, and I will help you

Just give me the strength, and I will help you.

And they can try their hardest, 'cause they don't frighten me

They can try their hardest, but they don't frighten me.


It is written in the book

It is written in the book.


It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't

It's hotter than I've known before, but I feel cold, and I don't know why.

know why

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

If the fire within your heart can beat the storm, then I believe you could make it right.

Then I really believe, you could make it right


Ooh the time has come now

Oh, the time has come; we must show our feelings.

We must show our feelings

But I'm looking right through you

But I'm looking right through you, and your heart is empty.

And your heart is empty


Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now

Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now.

There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide

There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide.

Ah you let me down!

Ah, you let me down!


But wait a minute, I don't understand

But wait a minute, I don't understand.

It's getting stronger, so grab my hand

It's getting stronger, so grab my hand.

Don't want to leave you, don't want to go

Don't want to leave you, don't want to go.

But I'm losing all control

But I'm losing all control.

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away.

I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here

I can only stay if you have the will to keep me here.


It is written in the book

It is written in the book.


Oh so many times since I've read those words

Oh, so many times since I've read those words.

Just waiting to see you, can you see me?

Just waiting to see you; can you see me?
