Lyrics

[00:04.22] I thought sometime alone
[00:04.97] was what we really needed
[00:08.12] you said this time would hurt more than it helps
[00:11.97] but I couldn't see that
[00:16.17] I thought it was the end
[00:19.92] of a beautiful story
[00:24.18] and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
[00:32.93] and I tried to find
[00:34.73] out if this one thing is true
[00:38.98] that I'm nothing without you
[00:42.88] I know better now
[00:44.83] and I've had a change of heart
[00:48.13] I'd rather have bad times with you than good times with someone else
[00:56.13] I'd rather be beside you in a storm than safe and warm by myself
[01:04.08] I'd rather have hard times together than to have it easy apart
[01:13.09] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
[01:19.99] whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah
[01:24.44] And then I met someone
[01:28.19] and thought she could replace you
[01:32.19] we got a long just fine
[01:34.25] we wasted time because she was not you
[01:40.35] we had a lot of fun
[01:43.85] though we knew we were faking
[01:48.35] love was not impressed with our connection built on lies all lies
[01:56.90] so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
[02:02.85] that I'm nothing without you
[02:06.25] I know better now
[02:08.85] and I've had a change of heart
[02:12.10] I'd rather have bad times with you than good times with someone else
[02:20.11] I'd rather be beside you in a storm than safe and warm by myself
[02:28.06] I'd rather have hard times together than to have it easy apart
[02:37.16] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
[02:44.36] who holds my heart
[02:48.62] I can't blame you if you turn away from me like I've done you
[02:56.23] I can only prove the things I say with time
[03:02.73] please be mine
[03:04.33] I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you
[03:09.08] than good times with someone else (I know)
[03:12.28] I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime)
[03:16.68] than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
[03:20.59] I'd rather have hard times to gether
[03:24.09] than to have it easy apart
[03:28.89] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)
[03:33.89] I'd rather have bad times with you (surely)
[03:40.84] than good times with someone else (surely)
[03:44.44] I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah)
[03:49.05] than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
[03:53.55] I'd rather have hard times together
[03:56.25] than to have it easy apart (you know it)
[04:01.20] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
[04:09.15] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
[04:17.60] I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
[04:28.21] whoooo who holds my heart
