ALL MY LOVE LYRICS
Verse 1
Listen won't you tell me what you hear,
Inside your heart now,
Listen, won't you listen through your fears,
I'll wait until it's time, so I'll know that I tried.
CHORUS:
You can have all my love; you can have all my love
But it's not your fault if my love's not enough
To hold you. To hold you, forever.
Verse 2
We're walking on thin ice here, aren't we dear?
You feel like you're not
Ready for an answer, But I'll make it clear
I'm giving up my pride, take your time, I don't mind.
CHORUS:
You can have all my love; you can have all my love
But it's not your fault if my love's not enough
To hold you. To hold you, forever
If I give you my love; if I give you my love
Well it's not my fault if my love's not enough
To hold you. To hold you, forever
Bridge
I, I will fight my own wars
I won't try to hide, I will only give more.
CHORUS:
You can have all my love; you can have all my love
But it's not your fault if my love's not enough
To hold you. To hold you, forever
If I give you my love; if I give you my love
Well it's not my fault if my love's not enough
To hold you. To hold you, forever
Outro
I'm giving up my pride, take your time, I don't mind. X3
