Everyday
I'm on my knees to pray
Since I kissed you once
And I held you once
Things have never been the same

And I've tried
God knows I've tried
But there's nothing left
In the world today
That's making sense in any way

Even now, I'm in love with you
No matter what you put me through
There'll always be someone like you 
Who lets me down again

But every time
I've tried to make you mine
It seems there's nothing else
I will ever find
That will make you stay
Make you change your mind
Sad to say
It's the same thing everyday
But there's no one else
In the world today
That will make it change
Take the pain away

Even now, I'm in love with you
No matter what you put me through
There'll always be someone like you 
Who lets me down again

And everyday no matter what I do
I'm more and more in love with you
I can't believe it's really true
You wouldn't really go
