Girl, when I look at you
You look through me like I'm not even there
I’m tryin’ not to give up, to be strong but
I'm afraid to say I'm scared
I can't find the place your heart is hidin’
I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fightin’
Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
What if when I'm long gone
It dawns on you you just might want me back
Let me make myself clear, if I leave here
It's done; I'm gone, that's that
You carry my love around like it's a heavy burden
Well, I'm about to take it back
Are you sure it's worth it
Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Don't make me
(Don't make me)
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
(Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go)
Don't make me
Stop loving you
(Don't make me)
Stop needing you
