WHOLE WORLD
James Cottriall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen that look in your eyes.
My words bear no meaning and come too easy
So they fall into demise.
I'm trying to find a way to comfort you
And to make you feel good inside.
I cannot take the pain of knowing
That you die each time inside.
You are my whole world.
You're everything I am.
You are my whole world
And everything that I will ever be.
You are my everything,
My thoughts, my hopes,
My fears and dreams
And I know that we will make it through
No matter what that means,
You are mine.
All the days that we were innocent have all but gone away.
But I do not think that you understand
Just what it is, I'm trying to say.
I'll never cause you pain or bring you down,
You know I'll always be around,
'Cause there's no greater feeling
Than the warmth I feel
Since the day that you were found.
You are my whole world.
You're everything I am.
You are my whole world
And everything that I will ever be.
You are my everything,
My thoughts, my hopes,
My fears and dreams
And I know that we will make it through
No matter what that means,
You are mine.
So come on baby tell me now
Why it is you're so damn scared.
You're so damn scared.
Come on baby tell me now,
Why you don't just open up your heart,
You don't open up your heart.
You are my whole world.
You're everything I am.
You are my whole world
And everything that I will ever be.
You are my everything,
My thoughts, my hopes,
My fears and dreams
And I know that we will make it through
No matter what that means,
You are mine.
