Lyrics
What Would I Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The angry voice is raised in vain
The feeling deep inside of pain
Sometimes, I think it's not worth while
Until once more, I see you smile
CHORUS:
What would I be without your love, I'll never know
If I were free, what could I do, where could I go?
I'm only me and I love you so
Unspoken thoughts, we both regret,
Forgive the past but can't forget
Sometimes, I just don't understand
Until once more, I hold your hand
CHORUS
Sometimes, it seems I can't go on
Sometimes, it feels that everything we had is gone
But though there may be many tears,
We'll stay together through the years
You only have to love me too
And I need no one else but you
CHORUS (2x)
