I Surrender
Beres Hammond Lyrics

I told myself long ago
In the past, I made a decision that I did not intend to give in to my emotions.

I'm never giving, no, no, I was wrong
I thought I could suppress my emotions, but I was mistaken.

Hey woman, you never know
Women may not understand how I feel.

How much I miss you
I truly long to be with you.

Wish that you could touch my hand
I yearn to feel the intimacy we once shared.

Just like you did before
I want to experience our past physical closeness again.

I wish that you could call my name
I desire to hear your voice beckoning me.

And make me surrender
I want to give in to my love for you.

Wish that you could feel my needs
I long for you to perceive and respond to my desires and wants.

And know that I long for you
I want you to understand how much I desire you.

I miss every single thing we used to do
I crave every experience we used to share.

Baby, I surrender, I can't fight it anymore
I am giving up and giving in to my emotions; I can no longer suppress them.

This war has taken toll, I am out of ammunition
I have expended all my energy fighting this battle and have nothing left to give.

Now you can have it your way
I am ready to let you guide our relationship.

See, love is everything and what I need to do
My love for you is essential and must dictate my actions.

If I think I know you well, there is no new lucky man
If I truly understand you, I know that no one else is better suited to be your partner.

I see that you're still hurting, it's gonna take time
I acknowledge that you are still healing from past hurts and that it will take time for our relationship to fully recover.

And so I'm back again just like a brand new man
I am approaching our relationship with a new perspective and attitude.

Tell me what to do, and tell me how to play
I am open to your guidance in how we can move forward together.

See here at the crossroads, I took you there before
I have been in a similar situation before and led us to this point of uncertainty.

No more to explore, no, no
We have exhausted all other possibilities and must choose a path forward.

My life won't be the same if you say you won't remain
My existence is altered significantly by whether or not you choose to stay in my life.

That person I still adore
I still hold deep affection for you.

Trust me I'm lonely
I am experiencing a profound sense of isolation and disconnection from you.

I long for you, say I long for you
I am deeply desirous of being with you.

Now all I wanna do is just live for you babe, yes
My greatest motivation now is to be with you and devote myself to you.

If only I, if I know I would miss you so much
If I had known how much I would miss you, I would have acted differently in the past and not let you go.

Don't know how much more I can beg to you but
I feel like I have already pleaded with you as much as I can, but I still yearn for your affection.

Love is everything and what I need to know
Love is my greatest aspiration, and I must understand it to effectively pursue it.
