Bury my ghost Start my glory days Infiltrate my heart And take the pain away Took me time To see through your eyes Oh I'm not scared My words aren't lies Powerless for your love Powerless for your love I need to be strong But you have made me weak I won’t do you wrong ‘Cause these feelings run deep Where do we belong? I know we’d search to find ‘Cause I’m powerless for your love I think I’m losing my mind And after it all Would you still stand up and fight? When you're hidden in darkness Would you run towards the light? Even though I’m alone I can feel you here with me I try to block you out But you’re all I see Powerless for your love Powerless for your love I need to be strong But you have made me weak I won’t do you wrong ‘Cause these feelings run deep Where do we belong? I know we’d search to find ‘Cause I’m powerless for your love I think I’m losing my mind I think I’m losing my mind Tell me this time You won’t let me go With you my by side I don’t feel alone I've let go of my pride Now I can call you my own I need to be strong But you have made me weak I won’t do you wrong ‘Cause these feelings run deep Where do we belong? I know we’d search to find I’m powerless for your love I think I’m losing my mind
