Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and hold you tight, never let you go
I promise you to close my eyes and wait a while and still find you there
Caring about me instead of just wasting my time
I gave you my heart, oh baby was that not enough
[Chorus]
There's a space in this heart babe
When you find where you're going
I'll be there too yes I will baby
I guess I never told you that I love you babe
But each moment was wrong
And I would die, if I never get the chance to show you how strong
I gave you my heart, yes I did babe was that not enough for you baby
[Chorus]
Oh yeah
I'm gonna find a way, I love you babe, I love you babe
To make you mine
[Chorus x2]
