Share my life Take me for what I am 'Cause I'll never change All my colors for you Take my love I'll never ask for too much Just all that you are And everything that you do I don't really need to look Very much further/farther I don't want to have to go Where you don't follow I will hold it back again This passion inside Can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide (Your love I'll remember forever) [Chorus:] Don't make me close one more door I don't want to hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there Don't walk away from me (No, don't walk away from me. Don't you dare walk away from me) I have nothing, nothing, nothing If I don't have you, you (you, you, you./If I don't have you, oh, oo) You see through Right to the heart of me You break down my walls With the strength of your love I never knew Love like I've known it with you Will a memory survive One I can hold on to? I don't really need to look Very much further/farther I don't want to have to go Where you don't follow I will hold it back again This passion inside Can't run from myself There's nowhere to hide (Your love I'll remember forever) [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
