Oh
Please don't let me go
Oh
There's one thing you must know
Oh
Baby, I love you so
Oh
Oh
Ain't a thing in this world that I would take back
Baby, your love is a heart attack
Now why the hell you have to go and do that
Show me true love and teach me how to laugh
Your smile can shine my whole world up for miles
Haven't had love like this in a while
You picked me up when she knocked me down
My lowest point, now we heaven bound, yeah
If I could change one thing
It'd be to meet you sooner
Where the hell you been
Just promise me
Will we last forever
You see, you make me better
Oh
