Shut the door Turn the light off If I wanna be with you I wanna feel your love I wanna lay beside you I cannot hide this Even though I try Heart beats harder Time escapes me Trembling hands touch skin It makes this harder And the tears stream down my face If we could only have this life for one more day If we could only turn back time You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be My love, my heart is breathing for this Moment, in time I'll find the words to say Before you leave me today Close the door Throw the key Don't wanna be reminded Don't wanna be seen Don't wanna be without you My judgement's clouded Like tonight's sky Hands are silent Voice's numb Try to scream out, my lungs It makes this harder And the tears stream down my face. If we could only have this life for one more day If we could only turn back time You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be My love, my heart is breathing for this Moment, in time I'll find the words to say Before you leave me today Flashing lights in my mind Going back to the time Playing games in the street Kicking balls at my feet There's a numb in my toes Standing close to the edge There's a pile of my clothes At the end of your bed As I feel myself fall Make a joke of it all You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be My love, my heart is breathing for this Moment, in time I'll find the words to say Before you leave me today You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be My love, my heart is breathing for this Moment, in time I'll find the words to say Before you leave me today
