Games, changes and fears

When will they go from here, when will they stop

I believe that fate has brought us here

And we should be together, babe, but we’re not
E B
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
F#m A
I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin'
Chorus:
B E B
I try to say goodbye and I choke, I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here

Goodbye and I choke, try to walk away and I stumble
F#m A B
Though I try to hide it, it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here

I may appear to be free
F#m A B
But I'm just a prisoner of your love

I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin’

Here is my confession

May I be your possesion

Boy I need your touch

Your love kisses and such

With all my might I try

But this I can't deny, deny
