My hands, your hands Tied up like two ships Drifting, weightless Waves try to break it I'd do anything to save it Why is it so hard to say it? My heart, your heart Sit tight like book ends Pages between us Written with no end So many words we're not saying Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone You make me strong I'm sorry if I say, "I need you" But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong That you make me strong? Think of how much Love that's been wasted People always Trying to escape it Move on to stop their heart breaking But there's nothing I'm running from You make me strong I'm sorry if I say, "I need you" But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong? So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, oh Need you to keep me from falling apart I'll always hold on 'Cause you make me strong I'm sorry if I say, "I need you" But I don't care I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong? I'm sorry if I say, "I need you" But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong That you make me strong? I'm sorry if I say, "I need you" But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong That you make me strong
