lyrics

How could you know
if you never know me
but my love is pure
just look and see

How can I show you
I’ve lost a lifetime of love
If you don’t need me
I’ve already given up

I’m chasing my past
(If I can’t have you)
where would I go
(If I can’t have you)
I’m running too fast
Where would you be
(If I can’t have you)
My love is all I have
(If I can’t have you)
I’ve found the only chance
(If I can’t have you)
What would I do without you
(If I can’t have you)
I only live and learn with you

How could you feel
What I cant see
When you let go
You still have me
