Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe, but we're not
I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free but I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, they're just a front.
I play it off bit I'm dreaming of you
I keep my cool but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Girl I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try but this I can't deny, oh, I can't deny
I play it off but I'm dreaming of you
I keep my cool but I'm fading
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Oh I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near, my world crumbles when you are not near
