Without the One I Love


All for one, one for all.

Can't have one without the other.

Pain, hurt, desire, love.

All for one, one for all.

Can’t have one without the other.

 

My heart sank when you told me of your decision.

How I wish it was me instead of him.

How long must I stay silent when I rather not be?

 

The pain of not being able to confess my love

Cause a mist to cover my windows

As I force the doors to my dam to close.

 

If only you knew the hurt I feel.

If only you knew how you've captured my heart.

 

All for one, one for all.

Can't have one without the other.

Pain, hurt, desire, love.

All for one, one for all.

Can’t have one without the other.

 

My heart is fighting a losing battle.

I must find a way to regain control.

For the desire I feel only builds

Every time I see your face.

 

If only you could be forever mine.

You're the one my heart's been dreaming of.

But why is love playing this game with me

When the one I desire to love may never be?

 

All for one, one for all.

Can't have one without the other.

Pain, hurt, desire, love.

All for one, one for all.

Can’t have one without the other.

 

Do you suspect what I'm feeling

Or the love I want to share with you?

Do you see me as I see you,

Only with loving eyes?

 

I am upset with you and myself.

Falling in love with you wasn’t supposed to happen.

No matter how hard I tried to let you go,

My heart keeps saying, “No you don't.”

 

All for one, one for all.

Can't have one without the other.

Pain, hurt, desire, love.

All for one, one for all.

Can’t have one without the other.

 

Can’t have pain if I don’t love you.

Can’t have hurt if I don’t love you.

Can’t have a desire if I don’t love you.

Can’t have love if I don’t love you.

 

Can’t have one without the other.

Can’t have one without the one I love.
