Wouldn't Let Me Love You - Richard Marx

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
