I don't know what I've done Or if I like what I've begun But something told me to run And honey, you know me, it's all or none There were sounds in my head Little voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh, and I found myself listening 'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cause she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood See, I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you aren't leaving without a fight And I think, I am just as torn inside 'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cause she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than any one I, I've ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself And so I say to you, this is what I have to do 'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cause she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood She who dares to stand where I stood
