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.
I gotta know
If I give my heart to you
That everything you say is true
And everything you say you'll do you'll do
I gotta know
If I bare my soul right here
You'll never run or disappear
You'll hold me till the hours turn to years
And I gotta say
My heart has never been so sure
You've mended every piece that tore
And now my love's too strong to tear away
So I gotta know
If you feel the same my dear
Let's justify why we are here
Say the words that I long to hear
Cause I've been so strong for so long
I never needed anyone
But my strength is wearing out my heart
So I'm letting my guard down
Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody
But I gotta know
I gotta know
You'll still kiss away my tears
Even if they make no sense
Even if they put you on defense
I gotta know
Through the times when it gets rough
That our love will be enough
And we'll never let it go
I know only time will tell
But I need to hear it anyway
Cause now my love's too strong to tear away
