18 days
Since I?d look at myself
I don?t wanna have to change
If I don?t then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don?t wanna have to be here
I don?t understand it now

Cause its been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say its the hardest thing to do
But that?s another 18 days
Without you..

Time after time
I?ve been through this
You show me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
As my days fade to night
I remember that state of mind
I?m soaring straight into your heart
And I?ll fly high

Cause it?s been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it?s the hardest thing to do
[ 18 Days song text brought to you by LyricsYouLove ]
But that?s just too many days
Without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I?ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this

Cause it?s been 18 days
Since I?d look at myself
I don?t wanna have to change
If I don?t then no one will

Cause its been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feel like a lifetime
I?m trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it?s the hardest thing to do
But that?s just too many days without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end
But I?ll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this..
