Verse 1

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad, today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours, this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return, my call?
If you were not mine would I have the strength to stand, at all?

Bridge

I never know what the future brings
But I know you’re here with me now
We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with

Chorus

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Verse 2

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you, as my wife?

Bridge

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray that you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life 

Chorus

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Mid section

(Play just the single notes here)
Cos I miss you body and soul, so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
(full chords)
Cos I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight, you know my heart is by your side

Chorus

I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
