I held the book so tightly in my hands,
Saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with you
Right by your side
Give me the strength, and I will help you
They can try their hardest, they don´t frighten me
It is written in the book
It is hotter than I´ve known before,
But I feel so cold, and I don´t know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right
The time has come now
We must show our feelings
But I´m looking right through you
And your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you it´s too late to change now
There´s nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Oh you let me down!
...but wait a minute, I don´t understand
It´s getting stronger, grab my hand
Don´t wanna leave you, don´t wanna go
But I´m losing all control
Can´t you see me slipping away?
I can only stay if you´ve the will to keep me here
It is written in the book
Oh so many times since I´ve read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
Saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go
You gave me no warning
You gave no reason
But I was with you
Right by your side
Give me the strength, and I will help you
They can try their hardest, they don´t frighten me
It is written in the book
It is hotter than I´ve known before,
But I feel so cold, and I don´t know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right
The time has come now
We must show our feelings
But I´m looking right through you
And your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you it´s too late to change now
There´s nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Oh you let me down!
...but wait a minute, I don´t understand
It´s getting stronger, grab my hand
Don´t wanna leave you, don´t wanna go
But I´m losing all control
Can´t you see me slipping away?
I can only stay if you´ve the will to keep me here
It is written in the book
Oh so many times since I´ve read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
