Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My hands, your hands, tied up like two ships

Drifting, weightless, waves try to break it

I'd do anything to save it

Why is it so hard to save it?

[Verse 2]

My heart, your heart, sit tight like bookends

Pages between us written with no end

So many words we're not saying

Don't wanna wait till it's gone

You make me strong

[Verse 3]

I'm sorry if I say, "I need ya"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong

That you make me strong?

[Verse 4]

Think of how much love that's been wasted

People always trying to escape it

Move on to stop their heartbreaking

But there's nothing I'm running from

You make me strong

[Verse 5]

I'm sorry if I say, "I need ya"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?

[Verse 6]

So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh

Need you to keep me from fallin' apart

I'll always hold on 'cause you make me strong

[Verse 7]

I'm sorry if I say, "I need ya"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?

[Verse 8]

I'm sorry if I say, "I need ya"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong

That you make me strong?

I'm sorry if I say, "I need ya"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong

That you make me strong?
