How could I throw away a miracle How could I face another day It's all of my doing I made a choice And today I pay My heart is full of pain How could you understand The way I feel How could you relate to so much pain Seems as though nothing can comfort me So today I pray That someone should listen for [Chorus] Nothing should matter Not when love grows inside you The choice is yours There's a miracle in store Nothing should matter Not when love grows inside you A voice of love is crying out Don't throw love away There's a miracle in store How could I let go of a miracle Nothing could ever take its place Thought I was looking Out for myself Now it seems the pain Is all that I have gained I wonder if I could be your miracle I wonder if I could spare you pain Seems as though nothing will comfort me Less today I pray That you should come listen [Chorus] Don't ever throw away your miracle Don't let it slip away Nothing should matter [Chorus]
