lyrics

We sat beneath that big oak tree,

Under the stars just you and me,

I needed you just to hold me,

This world could be ours you told me.

Little did I know it was all a lie,

Everything that I needed to hear at the time,

A promise made, confide in you,

A secret kept, it was never true.



Don't wait till my heart stops beating,

To tell me how you really feel,

We could lock it up inside us forever,

But it would never make anything less real.



Your touch brings out the magic in me,

We lie alone, our feelings lost and left behind lock and key.

The things you've shown me should never be true,

But the same you said to me and it's what brings me closer to you.



We sat beneath that big oak tree,

Under the stars just you and me,

I needed you just to hold me,

This world could be ours you told me.

Little did I know it was all a lie,

Everything that I needed to hear at the time,

A promise made, confide in you,

A secret kept, it was never true.



Don't wait till my heart stops beating,

To tell me how you really feel,

We could lock it up inside us forever,

But it would never make anything less real.



You know I care for nothing but you,

My dear, my deer, I'd die for you.



Your touch brings out the magic in me,

We lie alone, our feelings lost and left behind lock and key.

The things you've shown me should never be true,

But the same you said to me and it's what brings me closer to you.



And if she's anywhere near me,

I pray to god she hears me.

And if my heart stops beating,

It will never end my pleading.
