little darling belle with such a fragile shell
in the powerful way that love seems to make her all regret it now
and if she'd only say what's wrong—she can't on
you've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
you'll be safe and sound
little lonely face that no one ever sees
you see the thing she believes is life is bittersweet
if she'd open up to me
and it's the only thing she dreams
you gotta believe
you've got to be strong now
and if I come and hold you now
you've got to be strong now
if I hold you now
if I hold you now
if I hold you now
ooh god if I could change a thing tonight
we won't be lonely
ooh god if I could change a thing
why does it have to be this way
