The power of two

Was getting deeper into the night,
Knew you weren´t coming home.
Nothing I was doing was right,
And now I´ve got to face it alone.
The night getting darker.
Baby the darker it got, struggled with why and what,
But I could not fight what I knew was true.
I was not gonna get through the night
Without the power of two...
Me and you.
Feeling like I´m out on a ledge,
Standing with my back to the wall.
Used to be I´d go straight ahead,
Now I´m going nowhere at all.
The night getting longer.
Baby the longer it went, just didn´t make any sense.
Couldn´t see, couldn´t hear, didn´t know what to do.
Was like I had no power at all
Without the power of two...
Me and you.
I never knew before that two was more
Than one and one until that night.
Was nothing I could do
But think of how I´m losing you, and
It shook me, it shocked me, you locked me out there.
Looking for a place I could hide,
Searching for a corner to turn.
Left me here alone for one night,
Showed me I had something to learn.
I tried not to need you, but I needed you anyway.
Wouldn´t be easy to say, but the way that I see it
I´m half without you, and I´m not gonna make myself whole
Without the power of two...
Me and you.
Morning couldn´t wait.
I knew that it was getting late, but I hung on.
I had no choice at all, was either walk away or crawl, and
I´m pleading, I´m bleeding.
I think I´m falling deeper into that hole,
Deeper that I thought I could get.
Like a bug that´s stuck in a bowl climbing out´s impossible, yet
He keeps trying harder, harder than he thought he could.
I finally understood.
I could hear, I could see, and the truth came through.
We had ten times the power of one.
We had the power of two...
Me and you.
Was nothing we couldn´t do,
Just me and you.
We had the power of two.
Knew you weren´t coming home.
Nothing I was doing was right,
And now I´ve got to face it alone.
The night getting darker.
Baby the darker it got, struggled with why and what,
But I could not fight what I knew was true.
I was not gonna get through the night
Without the power of two...
Me and you.
Feeling like I´m out on a ledge,
Standing with my back to the wall.
Used to be I´d go straight ahead,
Now I´m going nowhere at all.
The night getting longer.
Baby the longer it went, just didn´t make any sense.
Couldn´t see, couldn´t hear, didn´t know what to do.
