[Verse 1]
             
It must have b

              
een an awful h

              
urt that someo

          
ne did to you
            
That built the

              
 wall around y

              
our heart that

              
 I can't break

 
 through
             
I can't erase 

              
I can't replac

              
e the bitter f

       
or the sweet
            
For I can't fi

              
nd my way behi

              
nd your wall o

      
f memories


[Chorus]
             
If you want me

              
 why I can't k

              
eep you in lov

       
e with me
            
You say you're

              
 mine and I'm 

              
not blind I kn

              
ow you want to

  
 be
            
And when you'r

              
e holding me n

              
o sweeter love

            
 could ever be
            
But when I'm g

              
one somehow I 

              
can't keep you

              
 in love with 


me

[Verse 2]
             
The worst mist

              
ake that you c

              
ould make the 


surest way to 

lose
            
Would be to li

              
sten and belie

              
ve the lies th

           
ey tell to you
             
There is a way

              
 you can repay

              
 the one who l

       
et you down
             
Let me repair 

              
your broken he

              
art don't leav

            
e it on the gr

ound


[Chorus]
             
If you want me

              
 why I can't k

              
eep you in lov

       
e with me
            
You say you're
