Don't rush me just this once I want to make this moment last Slow down the pace, there's no hurry I can't let another pass me by again Let me be the one to say when I've had enough Just let me close my eyes, memorize The way things are this minute So when you're gone I can go on If memory can hold on within it what I'm feeling Should time try fading or stealing something away Hold on, nothing's the same Tell me why I feel this way Life wouldn't be worth living without you All along I've been the pretender But now that's gone forever Nobody's ever loved me like you do Nobody's broken through Got to concentrate, file away Every last detail Don't want to lose what's going down I want to remember everything I'm feeling Should time try fading or stealing something away Hold on, nothing's the same Tell me why I feel this way Life wouldn't be worth living without you All along I've been the pretender But now that's gone forever, yeah Nobody's ever loved me like you do Nobody's broken through Nobody's ever loved me like you do Nobody's broken through Nobody's ever broken through Nobody's ever loved me like you do Hold on, nothing's the same Tell me why I feel this way Life wouldn't be worth living without you All along I've been the pretender But now that's gone forever Nobody's ever loved me like you do Hold on, nothing's the same Tell me why I feel this way Life wouldn't be worth living without you All along I've been the pretender But now that's gone forever Nobody's ever loved me like you do
