I tell myself it's wrong to think of you I say that I am strong and I'll make it through But no matter what I claim I still feel the same 'bout loving you Oh the power this love has over me It's taken control of my heart Oh the power this love was over me It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart Well I know that I should try forgetting you But I still wonder why not wanting to So I hold on to this pain I know I'm the one to blame for loving you Oh the power this love has over me It's taken control of my heart Oh the power this love was over me It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart Why do I always end up this way I know I've known for a long, long time We will never be together So why do I cry Oh the power this love has over me It's taken control of my heart Oh the power this love was over me It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart
