Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
But every time I look at you,
No matter what I'm goin' through, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you,
Seem to come easily
Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' through,
It's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you,
Seem to come easily
Cause you're everything to me
It's gonna take a little time to show you,
Just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you,
But you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' through,
It's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you,
Seem to come easily
Cause you're everything to me
You're everything to me, you're everything to me
