I painted it too vividly
I made it too real
Now I can't live without
What I can't have
I confused my reality
With the pictures in my head
I got carried away and there's just no coming back
When your heart knows what it wants
Or who...
But how could this not be right
When it feels like
I gave all I had to give?
I was wrapped up in a fantasy
I was tied up in a dream
Though I awoke my heart slept on
I wont settle for just anyone
I'll never say "this will have to do"
I can't change how I feel
But I can try and change your mind
For now this pain will have to do
But how could this not be right
When it feels like
I gave all i had?
If I sang it loud,
If I scream and shout,
Would you hand me your heart and let me tie it down?
Just to know it's mine
Just to put my mind at ease
Ill never sleep if I don't know your heart is mine to keep
It's just hard for me when I believed for so long
One too many things
And one too many times I wished
I'm eyelashless
I'm losing faith in destiny
I'm giving up on fate
I say it like I know but If I think I see a sign
I know I'll come running every time
But how could this not be right
When it feels like
I gave all I had?
If I sang it loud
If I scream and shout
Would you hand me your heart and let me tie it down?
Just to know it's mine
Just to put my mind at ease
I have to know your heart won't go and leave mine all alone
