Richard Marx - Wouldn't Let Me Love You lyrics

i'm standing here paralyzed so helpless right before your eyes and all that you can seem to do is look away i know this weight that's on my shoulders is telling me it's really over and now goodbye's the only thing that's left to say you were always worth the risk but how'd it come to this cause i've opened up my heart to bleed i let you have the best of me but you wouldn't let me love you you couldn't let me love you i tried to give you what you need but it took so long to finally see that you wouldn't let me love you couldn't let me love you somehow you said all the right things to cover up the pain you're hiding and never let me in close enough to touch you live with all these walls around you impossible for me to break through and baby even i can only fight so much and it's cutting me so deep promises i tried to keep cause i've opened up my heart to bleed i let you have the best of me but you wouldn't let me love you you couldn't let me love you i lied to give you what you need but it took so long to finally see that you wouldn't let me love you couldn't let me love you and you should have been the one the more i love the more you run i opened up my heart to bleed i let you have the best of me but you wouldn't let me love you you couldn't let me love you i tried to give you what you need but it took so long to finally see that you wouldn't let me love you couldn't let me love you couldn't let me wouldn't let me you wouldn't let me love you couldn't let me wouldn't let me i'm standing here paralyzed so helpless right before your eyes and all that you can do is look away
