lyrics
Show me how you feel now
I'm tired but not alone
Hold me tight in your arms
You make me feel so strong
Listen to what I say now
You might hear me no more
See me and take no blame now
Forget my old mistakes
Hold me but say no words please
Silence is what I need
Listen to what I say now
You might hear me no more
Show me now, show your fears
Tight as always but no more tears
Show me now, show your strength
Still together but still no chance
Show me how you feel now
I'm tired but not alone
Hold me tight in your arms
You make me feel so strong
Listen to what I say now
You might hear me no more
See me and take no blame now
Forget my old mistakes
Hold me but say no words please
Silence is what I need
Show me now, show your fears
Tight as always but no more tears
Show me now, show your strength
Still together but still no chance
Show me, show me
You better show me your love
Show me, show me
You better show me your love tonight
