Out of the pages of books that I've read
I can recall where someone somewhere said
If you don't succeed, try again
So I'm coming to you with my heart in my hand
Using every ounce of strength I have
Don't turn me away

'Cause I live and breathe you
God knows how much I need you
And I'll never leave you
God knows I love you

Too insecure as lovers we failed
The princess and the white knight live in fairy tales
" And so the story goes"
You read so right from the very start
But here we are both with broken hearts
Let's not part this way

'Cause I live and breathe you
God knows how much I need you
And I'll never leave you
God knows I love you

Time ran away and took you by the hand
If I can't bring you back, maybe time can

'Cause I live and breathe you
God knows how much I need you
And I'll never leave you
God knows I love you

God knows how much I need you
Well, I'm sure He knows
How much I love you
Well, I'm sure He knows
How much I want you
Oh, baby, I'm sure He knows
God knows how much I need you
God knows how much I love you
God knows how much I love you
