You said that you still love me
I never once believed your eyes
You found a way to touch me
But still inside you're filled with lies
I never said I need to love you
But still you know I do
It seems you live to feel this moment
My heart depends on you
Want the love I've kept inside, so please
My love is in your hands
To touch my heart you'll see, baby please

Chorus:
A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

The times you caught me crying
You never tried to understand
I need to have you near me
Believe,you need to hold my hand
Don't ever think I'll fall to pieces
You know my heart's too strong
But deep inside I know I love you
With you is where I belong
Want the love I've kept inside, so please
My love is in your hands
To touch my heart you'll see, baby please

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

Baby, baby, baby, don't know how to love me
Baby, baby, baby, don't know how to love me
Baby, baby, baby, don't know how to love me
Baby, baby, baby, don't know how to love me

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

A day in my life without you
Keep your love life close to me
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be

A day in my life without you, deep inside
Keep your love life close to me, I need to hold you
A day in my life without you
Give me your love like it used to be
