The Love That You've Been Looking For
98 Degrees · Other Songs - 98 Degrees
Lonely, that's not how we're meant to be
But looking in your eyes I see
A heart that was abandoned
by a world that used to show you love
You feel like you're the only one
Whose day begins without the sun
You're left to turn and face it all alone
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if
fate has done you wrong
But if you look inside your heart
you'll find the strength to carry on
You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
it's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
Suddenly, your broken heart begins to see
a love that lasts eternally
Just look ahead and never, ever let a single tear drop from your eye
It breaks my heart to see you cry
The pain that haunts you every night
Because of all the emptiness inside
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if your heart is caving in
But if we look inside the soul we'll find the love we have within
(well) You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
it's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day)(find your heart someday)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears (just turn away)
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
I know sometimes when things go wrong
You search for strength to carry on (carry on)
But all we need to take control
Is the love within my soul
'Cause you know (you know) that love will find a way
To reach your heart again someday
You must believe it's true
Now all you have to do...
(well) You've got to leave it all behind you (oh no)
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
it's gonna find your heart someday
(find it one day)(it'll find your heart someday)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you (oh oh oh ohhh)
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears
'Cause the love that you've been looking for, is here...
But looking in your eyes I see
A heart that was abandoned
by a world that used to show you love
You feel like you're the only one
Whose day begins without the sun
You're left to turn and face it all alone
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if
fate has done you wrong
But if you look inside your heart
you'll find the strength to carry on
You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
it's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
Suddenly, your broken heart begins to see
a love that lasts eternally
Just look ahead and never, ever let a single tear drop from your eye
It breaks my heart to see you cry
The pain that haunts you every night
Because of all the emptiness inside
Well, I know sometimes it seems as if your heart is caving in
But if we look inside the soul we'll find the love we have within
(well) You've got to leave it all behind you
Break through those lonely chains that bind you
'Cause love's not far away, (far away)
it's gonna find your heart someday (find it one day)(find your heart someday)
And when you feel it's warmth surround you
You'll realize that love has found you
So turn away your fears (just turn away)
'Cause the love that you've been looking for is here
I know sometimes when things go wrong
You search for strength to carry on (carry on)
But all we need to take control
