If I Ever Love Again

Tatyana Ali

Ooh…
Oh, oh, oh

How many times can I die?
How many times can I break inside?
How many times can I pray? 
Oh, Lord to take this pain away
He was the song in my soul
But now that song will never play
Instead a silence now falls over me

How many tears have I felt? (I felt)
Before I learned to forgive myself (forgive myself)
How many trials can I face
Before I start to lose my faith
How many hearts have to mend
Before the poet rhymes again
Cause the feeling of you comforts me

If I ever love again, it would be with you again
Cause there's nothing that I can do (no)
To baby, keep me away from you
If I ever love again, it would be with you again
(Cause my life) cause my life is not complete
Baby, til you're here with me

How many times did I try (ooh)
To hold you near when you said goodbye (goodbye)
How many times did you judge
Before you knew who I really was
You were the fire in my day, yeah
But now the flame has burned away
And only shades of the past call on me

If I ever love again, it would be with you again (I know)
Cause there's nothing that I can do 
(No, I can't do, no, I can't)
To baby, keep me away from you
If I ever love again (if I ever love again)
It would be with you again
Cause my life is not complete
Baby, til you're here with me
(If I) if I ever love again, oh
Oh…

He was the song in my soul
But now that song will never play
Instead a silence now falls over me

If I ever love again (if I ever love again)
It would be with you again (ooh…)
Cause there's nothing that I can do
(No, I can't do, no)
To baby, keep me away from you (keep me away)
If I ever love again

I can't help myself
I want you and no one else (no one else)
And baby, that's the way I fell over you
(Baby, til you're here with me)
I can't help myself (help myself)
I want you and no one else (no one else)
And baby, that's the way I fell (that's the way I fell) over you 
(Baby, til you're here with me)
