Don't take it away

2005

couldn't find my way out of my dreams last night

looked for the end of the tunnel I was in but there was no light

if you and I are together in my dreams then how come every time I wake

no one is here with me, you are not here with me, not filling this empty space

sleep is the drug I take to escape this reality I'm in

cause I can't live this way where I am this time again

call me a fool but every time I look at you I'm blinded

I guess you wouldn't believe me if I told you I was really trying



chorus

cause I'm trying not to fall in love

I know you think I'm not trying hard enough

I'm trying not to get lost in you

but no one knows how hard it is to do

I'm trying to catch my breath so you don't take it away

I'm trying not to give you my heart at least not today



if fantasies come true like some people say they do

then maybe there is a chance that I could someday have you

but until then I will hide away in my world of fantasy

desperately holding on trying not to fall into reality

so please won't you embrace me in your arms like you do in my dreams at night

cause everytime I am near you it feels so wonderful, it feels so right

I can't imagine me living in a world when your not here

the thought of it makes me quiver and shiver with fear

chorus



I think I am in love with you

even though I'm trying so hard not to

I want to know what it feels like

to be in your embrace at night

I think I am completely lost in you

though it wasn't something I meant to do

but now I am glad that I stumbled upon your smile

and I hope this lasts more than just a little while

chorus
