Lyrics
Complete Surrender
© 2011 Alan D. David, BMI
(v1)
Burned by love some time ago
It's hard to let my feelings show
Scars remain from that hurting time
My heart's afraid to cross the line
But somehow you've broken through
Fixed my heart as good as new
But there's still one thing you need to know
CHORUS
If I fall in love with you and offer you my heart
I hope you always... always will remember
It's more than just... I love you
It's everything I am
It's complete surrender
(v2)
A simple lesson I have learned
A partial love gets no return
Give it all where love's concerned
Any less is a heartache earned
Half a love can't be redeemed
There can be no in between
If I fall in love, it's everything
Repeat Chorus
