The power (this love has over me)

I tell myself it's wrong to think of you
I say that I am strong and I'll make it through
But no matter what I claim
I still feel the same 'bout loving you

Oh the power this love has over me
It's taken control of my heart
Oh the power this love was over me
It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart

Well I know that I should try forgetting you
But I still wonder why not wanting to
So I hold on to this pain
I know I'm the one to blame for loving you

Oh the power this love has over me
It's taken control of my heart
Oh the power this love was over me
It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart

Why do I always end up this way
I know I've known for a long, long time
We will never be together
So why do I cry

Oh the power this love has over me
It's taken control of my heart
Oh the power this love was over me
It doesn't let go and it's tearing me apart
