Lyrics

Running The Risk

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.

Seeing you, watching you

Watching me

I hold back my emotions

I keep them veiled in secrecy

I can't let go of this thing we've started

Wasn't looking for love

No conspiracy of the broken hearted

I don't know how far to go

Until I'm gone, gone, gone

I couldn't see the danger

It was just a little taste of temptation

I could not read the silence

That was written on your face

But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you

There's nothing more I can say

I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm lost drowning in a sea of emotion

I've got one simple need

I need you to feel my devotion

I don't know how far to go

Until I'm gone, yeah gone

It's a complicated picture

I'm all tangled up in temptation

I couldn't read the silence

That was written on your face

But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you

There's nothing more I can say

I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you

I'm walking this tightrope

You're my only hope

There's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you

Losing you

And there's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you

There's nothing more I can say

I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you

I'm walking this tightrope

Darling, you're my only hope

There's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you

I'm running the risk of losing you

I'm telling you honey

This heart of mine can't run the risk

Of losing you again

Everything have made you do

I'm still running the risk of losing you
