Now it's time, I fear to tell I've been holding it back so long
But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I feel unlike I've ever felt
And it's making me scared that I may not be what I (think I am)
What of us, what do I say?
Are we both from a different world?
'Cause every breath that I take, I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid
There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours?
I don't sleep, don't feel a thing and my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain, can't shed a tear now I realise
We're not the same, and it's making me sad
'Cause we can't fulfill our dreams (in the life)
So I must, let us break free
I can never be what you need
If there was a way, through the hurt, then I would find it
I'd take the blows. Yes, I would fight it
But this is the one
Impossible dream to live
What am I, if I can't be yours?
