Why can't I hide this feeling inside
When I know you don't feel the same?
Who do I turn to
When times get hard, and it feels like I'm running away?

When you break it down, and I'm still around, why can't you understand?
'Cause there's one of me and all of you, and I'm still half a man

I can't shake it, you know it's hard to move
'Cause I don't want to forget about you
And tell me how, that I'm supposed to know?
Or hold you down for someone new

When it all falls down around me and I feel like I'm naked in a hole
I want you girl beside me, 'cause I can't make it all alone

There's a river in my soul, and it runs all the way through
I'm watching and I'm waiting
And I'm tied up in blue over you

Tell me how, how I'm supposed to listen to you?
When you tell me I've got to find somebody new

There's a river in my soul, and it runs all the way through
I'm watching and I'm waiting
And I'm tied up in blue over you

Oh, I don't know 'cause you weren't there any longer
And we share a room from time to time, and we smile
Is this just a game that we play? Give me the answer
Won't you help me girl to find my feet
'Cause I can't taste nothing sweet, no more

There's a river in my soul, and it runs all the way through
I'm watching and I'm waiting
And I'm tied up in blue over you
There's a river in my soul, and it runs all the way through
I'm watching and I'm waiting
And I'm tied up in blue over you

Girl you are the reason, why this love is freedom
It's you I want, it's you I want
Girl you are the reason, why this love is freedom
It's you I want, it's you I want
Girl you are the reason, why this love is freedom
It's you I want, it's you I want
Girl you are the reason, why this love is freedom
It's you I want, it's you I want
