[Verse 1]
Wrap your arms and hold me still
I don't wanna think about what I will
Speak in tones that I can't hear
And tell me how no one knows anything in here
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it any wonder I try?
Is it any wonder I try?
[Chorus]
'Cause I thought we were so much more
I thought you wanted what I want
So completely I did fall
If I'm not here to love you, what am I here for?
[Verse 2]
I didn't know how to begin
So I wore a dress that was sequined
I wanted to say that I adored
The way that I felt and we always knew more
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it any wonder why?
Is it any wonder why?
[Chorus]
'Cause I thought we were so much more
I thought you wanted what I want
So completely I did fall
If I'm not here to love you, what am I here for?
[Bridge]
You started looking to your right
So I looked to follow
You started looking to your right
So I looked to follow
You started looking to your right
So I looked to follow your right
And you're right
You know she was in-between
Something out of heaven and a holy dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it any wonder I cry?
Is it any wonder I cry?
[Chorus]
'Cause I thought he was so much more
I thought you wanted what I want
So completely I did fall
If I'm not here to love you, what am I here for?
