Song lyrics


You look so beautiful today
When you’re sitting there it’s hard for me to look away
So I try to find the words that I could say
I know distance doesn’t matter
But you feel so far away

And I can’t lie
Every time I leave my heart turns grey
And I, I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
Cause I just can’t take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you’re gone it won’t stop bleeding
I can wait, I can wait forever

You look so beautiful today
It’s like every time I turn around I see your face
The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you
When I look into your eyes man I wish that I could stay

And I can’t lie
Every time I leave my heart turns grey
And I, I wanna come back home to see your face tonight
Cause I just can’t take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you’re gone it won’t stop bleeding
I can wait, I can wait forever

I know it feels like forever
I guess that’s just the price I’ve got to pay
But when I come back home
to feel your touch makes it better
Until that day, there’s nothing else that I can do
And I just can’t take it

Another day without you with me
Is like a blade that cuts right through me
But I can wait, I can wait forever
When you call my heart stops beating
When you’re gone it won’t stop bleeding
I can wait, I can wait forever

I can wait for the day cause you’re gonna come back to me
I can wait forever
I can wait forever
