Lyrics

I held the book so tightly in my hands I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning You gave no reason But I was with you Right by your side Just give me the strength, and I will help you And they can try their hardest, 'cause they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold, and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe, you could make it right Ooh,the time has come now We must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you And your heart is empty Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah you let me down! But wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me? I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It is written in the book Oh, so many times since I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
