I used to want something special
Thought love would be the key
But when you're living in hell
All you want is to feel
Like you've got something real
(Pre-Chorus)
I just want to feel, I just want to feel
Nothing more, nothing less
No diamonds or furs
Just hold me still for a second
(Chorus)
When the war is over, what else is there to hold on to?
When the battle's done, the soldiers have retreated and now we're alone
Can't you see me, don't you see me bleeding?
Can't you feel my heart when it's beating?
(Verse 2)
I never understood why tears fall down
When the heart of a person's feeling true
They've never shown me that before
When my father said he never wanted me
Maybe if I was a different girl, he would have never left me
(Pre-Chorus)
I just want to feel, I just want to feel
Nothing more, nothing less
No diamonds or furs
Just hold me still for a second
(Chorus)
When the war is over, what else is there to hold on to?
When the battle's done, the soldiers have retreated and now we're alone
Can't you see me, don't you see me bleeding?
Can't you feel my heart when it's beating?
(Bridge)
I don't know what to do
I'm on my own
And I'm so tired of being a fighter
I don't know how to get out of this dark cave
I've been searching, searching for a lifeline
(Pre-Chorus)
I just want to feel, I just want to feel
Nothing more, nothing less
No diamonds or furs
Just hold me still for a second
(Chorus)
When the war is over, what else is there to hold on to?
When the battle's done, the soldiers have retreated and now we're alone
Can't you see me, don't you see me bleeding?
Can't you feel my heart when it's beating?
(Outro)
If you loved me enough, you wouldn't let me go
If you loved me enough, you wouldn't let me go
If you loved me enough, you wouldn't let me go
