If You're Not The One
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.
If you're not the one
Then why does my soul feel glad, today?
If you're not the one
Then why does my hand fit yours, this way?
If you are not mine
Then why does your heart return, my call?
If you are not mine
Would I have the strength to stand, at all?
I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
And we'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I
Share my life with
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?
If I don't need you
Then why am I crying on, my bed?
If I don't need you
Then why does your name resound, in my head?
If you're not for me
Then why does this distance maim, my life?
If you're not for me
Then why do I dream of you, as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
And we'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I
Share my life with
And I wish that
You could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I
Build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?
Cuz I miss you
Body and so so strong
That it takes my breath away
And I breathe you
Into my heart and pray
For the strength to
Stand today
Cuz I love you
Whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is
By your side
I don't wanna run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?
