nice corny love songs

it's uncharacteristic for me to actually be obsessed with a corny love song, but it's happened. i'm so in love with daniel bedingfield's latest offer: "if you're not the one". somehow, the first time i heard it, i liked it immediately...tune AND lyrics. especially the lyrics. it's as if he wrote the song as a poem and then decided to write the music for it too. sigh.

anyway, today is doomed to be another boring day, so i'll leave you guys with my fave snippets of the song. ciaoz.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i don't wanna run away but i can't take it, i don't understand
if i'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that i am?
is there any way that i can stay in your arms?

if i don't need you then why am i crying on my bed?
if i don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
if you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
if you're not for me then why do i dream of you as my wife?

i don't know why you're so far away but i know this much is true
we'll make it through
and i hope that you're the one i share my life with
and i wish that you could be the one i die with
and i'm praying you're the one i build my home with
i hope i love you all my life

'cause i miss you body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
and i breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'cause i love you whether it's wrong or right
and though i can't be with you tonight
you know my heart is by your side

alone

alone
because i am not understood
locked away
in others' preconceptions

alone
because i am not given
the chance to be heard
to be seen as i am

alone
unaccepted yet welcome
inside but out
never on the mind of others
who are always on mine
a lost social butterfly

is it so wrong
to want to belong
yet struggling to be different
to be true?

am i to be blamed
for things i never knew
could sting?

can i be condemned
for not knowing how
i have affected you?

all i need is respect
as a human being with flaws
from my fellow sinners
to no longer be

alone
