Alive
Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
Hidden way beneath your skin
That sure ain't no sin
You say you ain't pretty
Not in any place it counts
But I am blind to all that you doubt
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody that's made me feel alive
Chorus
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
(Wishes come true)
See heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
(Prayers get answered)
Sometimes baby you make me feel alive
You know why he wants you
But I ain't the same as him
I look a little further within
Your life has had some long nights
All those tears I wipe away
Just close your eyes and hear what I say
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody thats made me feel alive
Chorus
Never thought I'd find the one
- It's like a dream
Gotta get closer to you
If you know what I mean Baby,
Don't be scared I'd never hurt you
- Never lie
The truth is I need you
Cause you make me feel alive
Chorus to end
