Girl, when I look at you You look through me like I'm not even there I'm trying not to give up To be strong but I'm afraid to say I'm scared I can't find the place your heart is hiding And I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fighting Baby I love you Don't want to lose you Don't make me let you go Took such a long time for me to find you Don't make me let you go Baby, I'm begging please And I'm down here on my knees I don't want to have to set you free Don't make me What if when I'm long gone it dawns on you, you just might want me back? Let me make myself clear If I leave here its done, I'm gone, that's that You carry my love around Like it's a heavy burden I'm about to take it back Are you sure it's worth it? Baby I love you Don't want to lose you Don't make me let you go Took such a long time for me to find you Don't make me let you go Baby, I'm begging please And I'm down here on my knees I don't want to have to set you free Don't make me Baby, I'm begging please And I'm down here on my knees I don't want to have to set you free Don't make me
