Everything

(álbum: The Last Songs - 2006)

You walked in, my life rose to applaud
I thought, "I can't win. Love is more than I can afford"
I'm a man who hates to lose and love wants everything, everything
Tonight you made me choose
I thought I was a lion, never needed anyone
I took just what I wanted and I was gone
I thought I was a castle
But the walls came tumbling down
You taught me how to win
By losing everything

Fish can fly
There are fires under the sea
Strong men cry
Now you've made a strong man of me
Well, I knew I'd never find love, but once they knew
The world was flat
But it ain't like that
A wise man found the circle
You made this unbeliever believe that love is real
You made me see the power of love to heal
You conquered my defences
You washed my fears away
You taught me how to win
By losing everything

How long can you run from the dream that you long to come true
And I spent my whole life searching for you
How long just surviving, my life not arriving
Love is a game where the winner has to lose
Love is a game, I've been losing without you

When I die
And I will 'cause all creatures do
Please don't cry
'Cause I found the answer in you
I'm a man who hates to lose and love wants everything, everything
Tonight you made me choose
You made this unbeliever believe that love is real
You made me see the power of love to heal
You conquered my defences
You washed my fears away
You taught me how to win
By losing everything
