IF

if a picture paints a thousand words
then why can't I paint you
the words will never show the you I've come to know
if a face could launch a thousand ships
then where am I to go
there's no one home but you
you're all that's left me too
and when my love for life is running dry
you come and pour yourself on me

if a man could be two places at one time
i'd be with you
tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
if the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
i'd spend the end with you
and when the world was through
then one by one the stars would all go out
then you and I would simply fly away

没有你
lyrics: jaymie
music: ben

verse:
一整夜, 一直无法入眠
想着你, 想着我们的一切
你渐渐走远,我看不见
心中的无奈,让自己体验

你忘了曾经许下的诺言
现在的我们已画上句点
故事的最终还是没有
公主和王子的天长地久

chorus:
没有你的世界里, 我变得软弱
只好一点一滴, 慢慢去摸索
没有你的世界里, 我寻找解脱
把散落一地的碎片
拼好之后
收藏在心里
永远不再触碰

bridge:
还要多久,我才能够放手
不在让回忆淹没我
在这灰暗的天空画上自己的彩虹
