Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Now while the beat is slow Here in your arms I sway Now that the light is low there's something I want to say I guess you've known it for a while That I mean trouble I only want to see you smile And I burst this bubble The hardest thing Is to let go When love is real Like a flower Loves a bee But I know you're meant To give yourself To someone else Not me And I could carry on with you Does that sound crazy? I think you feel the same way too And you can't face it The hardest thing Is to let go But it's not defeat When you set somebody free And I know you're meant To be yourself With someone else Not me Can you let go? Cause that's love that's real Like a flower loves a bee And you know you're meant To give yourself To someone else Not me Somebody else not me Meant for somebody else Not me
