Lyrics

I thought some time alone Was what we really needed You said this time would hurt more than it helps But I couldn't see that I thought it was the end Of a beautiful story And so I left the one I love at home to be alone And I tried and found out this one thing is true That I'm nothing without you I know better now And I've had a change of heart I'd rather have bad times with you Than good times with someone else I'd rather be beside you in a storm Than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Ooh, ooh, ooh-yeah And then I met someone And thought she could replace you We got along just fine But wasted time because she was not you We had a lot of fun Though we knew we were faking Love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, on lies So I'm here 'cause I found this one thing is true That I'm nothing without you I know better now And I've had a change of heart I'd rather have bad times with you Than good times with someone else I'd rather be beside you in a storm Than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Who holds my heart I can't blame you if you turn away from me like I've done you I can only prove the things I say with time Please be mine I'd rather have bad times with you (please be mine) Than good times with someone else (I know) I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime) Than safe and warm by myself (surely, surely, baby) I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart (you know that) I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have bad times with you (surely) Than good times with someone else (surely) I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh, yeah) Than safe and warm by myself (all by myself) I'd rather have hard times together Than to have it easy apart (you know that) I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart I'd rather have the one who holds my heart Ooh, ooh, ooh-yeah Who holds my heart, oh yeah
