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
