You have to face the truth
You have to let me go
I can't
You don't understand

Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice
To say to the world
This is why I live
You are what I live

Can't you see it's over?
I don't believe that

Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you, I have a goal
For what's left of my life
I will live
And I would die
For you

Don't say that
Then say you don't love me
But you know I do

Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice
To say to the world
This is why I live
You are why I live

Loving you is why I do the things I do (the things I do)
Loving you is not in my control (not in my control)
But loving you
I have a goal for what's left of my life (for the rest of my life)
I will live
And I would die
For you
For you
For you
I would die for you
For you
