Forget About The World
Gabrielle · Gabrielle
Cos you had to make up your mind
You really didn't want to choose
But you had too much to lose
Time was passing by didnt have it on your side
knew what you had to do
to win sometimes you gotta lose
but they tried to change your mind told you how to live your life
and they told stories stories that shouldnt be told
It was you against the world
But you gotta hold onto your girl
You gotta believe that she's the one
worth fighting for
Forget about the world
And worry about the girl
Not what they say
Not what they say your future holds for you
Forget about the world
And worry about the girl
Not what they say
Not what they say your future holds for you
Had problems in the past
There's no use in looking back
The future holds so much for you
Go to the light and pass on through
You had a stronger love
as the voices from your nerve
Tried their best to tear apart
A love they hoped would never last
So they tried to change your mind
Told you how to live your life
And they told stories
Stories that shouldn't be told
It was you against the world . . .
Forget about the world. . .
You gotta hold on to what you want
What you've been fighting for
You gotta believe in it - hold on
Until you can fight no more
You gotta hold on
And you will see
See your destiny
Then you will know
Which way to go
Forget about the world. . .
