verse 1:

I don't know where it all began...
perhaps just in a feeling.
you told me you liked me,
and i walked into your arms
you embraced who i was,
and i opened up to you.
i let you through some barriers,
that closely guarded my heart
and looked to you with tears in my eyes
as you said, we had to be ripped apart.

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

verse 2:

how do you control the emotion,
that burns you from within,
how do u supress feelings that
you dont want to box or hide?
how do you go each day,
knowing that the one you love,
is happier leaving you behind?

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

verse 3:

why cant you understand how i see you,
when i look into your eyes,
why cant you know how my heart feels
when you walk beside me?
why cant you see how i feel,
when your hand reaches out to hold me,
and my skin trembles at your touch...
you dont know how you feel,
yet you dont want me to leave.

Chorus:

hug me
hold me
wrap your arms around me,
im crying bitter tears
as my heart breaks over you.
as I walk in this shadow of myself,
trying to mend the holes that you've made,
i look around for signs of future
but I cant see ahead,
for the pain that blocks my path.

Verse 4:

watch and listen,
because times falls away...
it slips between your fingers,
and is lost forever,
and before you know it,
i will have walked out of your life...
holding my heart in my hands,
feeling the depth of what i feel for you.
hoping that maybe one day you'll look back, and understand.
