Girl, your eyes can still accelerate my heartbeat
Your smile still brings joy to my mind
Holding you makes me feel richer than I could ever be
Hoping you will never leave me behind
I was never bothered by the ways that we differ
and always thought we could complement each other
I was convinced we'd be together forever
and there would never be another
But you proved me wrong
and my heart broke
Seeing the life I had imagined
goin' up in smoke
Did you know that scorn and love
can co-exist in a man
I was convinced that we were through
Thank God you proved me wrong again
There was a time I took our love for granted
and thought everything would work out just fine
Now I know it's something you gotta keep workin' on
and I'm willing and able to labor to keep you mine
Let me prove to you
I'm still your man
Let's support and shape each other
the best way that we can
Let's share the great times
but also the bad
The things we love but also
the things that drive us mad
Tried to keep you happy by only sharing my joys
and wanted to give you anything that you desire
Now I know ignoring troubles won't make 'em disappear
and a self-effacing man is not a man that you admire
Teach me to open up
and open up your own mind
I will leave every mask
if you'll leave what you think you know behind
Bring on the challenges
We'll face them all
Let's jump hordes together
and catch each other when we fall
Baby, your eyes can still accelerate my heartbeat
Your smile still brings joy to my mind
Holding you makes me feel richer than I could ever be
Hoping you will never leave me behind
