Lyrics
I can’t hide the way I feel about you anymore
I can’t hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting
My resistance ain’t that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I’m tired of pretending
I don’t love you anymore
Let me make one last appeal
To show you how I feel about you, mm hm
‘Cause there’s no one else I swear holds a candle anywhere
Next to you, mm hm
My heart can’t take the beating
Not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating
Deep inside my soul
It says I can’t keep pretending
I don’t love you anymore
I’ve got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life
My tears no longer waiting
Oh, my resistance ain’t that strong
Oh, my mind keeps recreating
A life with you alone
And I’m tired of pretending
I don’t love you anymore
Anymore
Anymore
