no words will give justice
to these emotions that howl over me
it's doubtful how you miss
this love that cries for you to see

i'll shower you with flowers
and i'll kiss away the pain
i'll hold you when fear towers
and i'll break off every chain

it won't always be smooth sailing
i know honeymoons don't last
but know my love is never failing
with you, selfishness is of the past

i realize you're in a trance
of that girl who loves you so
but if you'd only give me a glance
i will take away all your sorrow

words left unspoken
feelings left unsaid
before you i was unbroken
but now for you i've bled

how do you love a stranger
one who was never there
how do you dismiss the danger
of stripping your heart bare

you're my missing piece
a void i could never fill
i wish i would release
regret that threatens to spill

i know you had no choice
you had to walk away
though i wish i heard your voice
whenever days turned gray

i wish i knew more of you
when i had the chance
i wish i knew how to
snap out of my bitter trance

i know that it is over
there's nothing i can do
you're now six feet under
even if i wish it weren't true

how do you love a stranger
when the thought hurts like a knife
how do you love a stranger
the one who gave you life

with you and me
are endless possibilities
a whole world to see
with you beside me

the touch of your hand
makes my hair stand
the warmth of your chest
brings my body to rest

you're my breath of fresh air
a heart pure as yours is rare
i've never found one like you
our love is long overdue

i will swallow my pride
and i will put you first
love will be my guide
through the best and worst

so will you come with me
dive into the unknown sea?
as long as i'm with you
i know i'll get through
