Breakdown
I can't take this
I need somewhere to go
I need you
I'm so restless
I don't know what to do

We've had our rough times
Fighting all night
And now you're just slipping away

Give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say:
Don't don't don't walk away

I promise
I won't let you down (down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight

Without you I go through the motions
Without you its just not quite the same
Without you I don't want to go out
I just want to say

That I'm sick of these fights
I'll let you be right
If it stops you from running away

Give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say:
Don't walk away

I promise
I won't let you down(down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight

Take my hand
Take my hand
I promise

Take my hand
I promise
Take my hand

I promise
I won't let you down(down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight

Take my hand tonight




I won't let you down
Take my hand tonight
