Jamie Walters
Struggling with You? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Why you tell me not to leave, You tell me not to cry. Why you tell me not to leave, You tell me not to cry. And love is just another word, That keeps me here tonight. And tears are just another fool, A weapon when we fight. What have we done here at what is the cost, Of all these feelings & love that we've lost. [CHORUS ] And it's you, that keeps me here tonight. Yeah it's you, that leads me to the light. Words we've said them all before Got nothin' left to say. And truth is something we both know, Is something we left far away. What have we done here at what is the cost. Of all these feelings & love that we've lost. [CHORUS] [BRIDGE:] Give me something I can feel Something we both know is real And make me believe. [CHORUS]
