… I've been living with a shadow overheadI've been sleeping with a cloud above my bedI've been lonely for so longTrapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
… I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams awayJust in case I ever need 'em again somedayI've been setting aside timeTo clear a little space in the corners of my mind
… All I wanna do is find a way back into loveI can't make it through without a way back into loveOh
… I've been watching but the stars refuse to shineI've been searching but I just don't see the signsI know that it's out thereThere's gotta be something for my soul somewhere
… I've been looking for someone to shed some lightNot somebody just to get me through the nightI could use some directionAnd I'm open to your suggestions
… All I wanna do is find a way back into loveI can't make it through without a way back into loveAnd if I open my heart againI guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
… There are moments when I don't know if it's realOr if anybody feels the way I feelI need inspirationNot just another negotiation
… All I wanna do is find a way back into loveI can't make it through without a way back into loveAnd if I open my heart to youI'm hoping you'll show me what to doAnd if you help me to start againYou know that I'll be there for you in the end
It's never been easy for meTo find words to go along with a melodyBut this time, there's actually something on my mindSo, please, forgive these few brief awkward lines
Since I met you, my whole life has changedIt's not just my furniture you've re-arrangedI was living in the pastBut, somehow, you've brought me backAnd I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said, "Relax"
And no, I knowBased on my track recordI might not seem like the safest betAll I'm asking you isDon't write me off just yet
For years, I've been telling myself the same old storyThat I'm happy to live off my so-called former gloriesBut you've given me a reason to take another chanceNow I need you despite the factThat you've killed all my plants
And no, I knowI've already blown more chancesThan anyone should ever getAll I'm asking you isDon't write me off just yet
Don't write me off just yet
