The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I was taken by surprise I was shattered by your eyes Living far beyond my means Do you know how that feels? I was waiting for so long I was praying to belong Only holding out to see and believing there's only one Strong enough and hard enough to give you away. In this big area of mine Sometimes you break me up inside Saying I I want to let you go Got that feeling If anyone who comes to know you long enough will give you away. There was never one as I who could stand the reasons why Who would even take the time Did you care Was I right? Only once did you try Even then it was hard enough Just for you to realize or believe there was only one Strong enough and hard enough to give you away. In this big area of mine Sometimes you break me up inside In this big area of mine. sometimes you break me up inside Sometimes you break me up inside In this big area of life Saying I I want to let you go Go that feeling If anyone who comes to know you long enough will give you away. I was taken by surprise I was shattered by your eyes Breaking down something so right and so fine.
