Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you know how it feels lying here without you, baby?
You could never understand what's happening to me
So alone, nothing's real, I just dream about you, baby
And forever wonder why you had to break free
[Chorus]
Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend, oh, baby
I would give my all to have you here
Just to hold you once again
[Verse 2]
It's so hard to believe I don't have you right beside me
As I long to touch you but you're out of my reach
And my heart doesn't feel, it's so very cold inside me
Just a shadow of someone that I used to be
[Chorus]
Oh, even though you're not my lover, baby
And even though you're not my friend, no, no, no
I would give my all to have you here
Just to hold you once again
[Bridge]
You were the only one, only one
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Oh, where did I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Even though you're not my lover, baby
And even though you're not my friend, oh, no, no, no, no
I would give my all to have you here
Just to hold you once again
Just to hold you once again
