Verse 1
We can't say hello every now and then
Cause you want more from me than just a smile
With everybody else that’s all it's ever been
But I've been needing so much more in my life
You see casual commitments have left me lonely
Cause no one really knows me at all
Love demands not most of me
But all of who I’ll ever be
My God it's taken years but I think finally my heart can see
Chorus:
Holding on to you
Means letting go of me
I've never loved that way before
Please show me how I want to love you
Holding on to you
Means letting go you see
I got to give my heart away
Cause in your arms is where I'll stay
Yes I will
Verse 2:
Ooooh
How's it feel to love someone completely
Lord all I know is how to compromise
By giving just enough to be appeasing
Never letting anyone inside
You see these casual commitments have left me lonely
Cause no one really knows me at all
Love demands not most of me
But all of who I'll ever be
My God it's taken years but I think finally my heart can see
Chorus:
Holding on to you
Means letting go of me (letting go of me)
I've never loved that way before
Please show me how I want to love you
Holding on to you (I’m holding on)
Means letting go you see
I got to give my heart away
Cause in your arms is where I’ll stay
Bridge:
Made to be in love (but not lonely)
Half is not enough
All in all will do (think I'm ready)
From now on
Chorus:
I’ll keep holding on to you (holding on to you)
Means letting go of me
I've never loved that way before
Please show me how I want to love you (I want to love you)
Holding on to you (holding on)
Means letting go you see
I got to give (got to give) my heart away (heart away)
Cause in your arms is where I'll stay
