Heaven With You

These nights are so lonely
When you’re not around
This apartment’s so cold
When you’re not in my arms

They say
You have to love yourself 
Before you can love another
They say
You have to find out who you are
Before you can take a journey with another

Whenever I close my eyes at night
You always appear in my dreams
Whenever I long for your kiss
You fade within the seams 

I know patience is a virtue
But its hell waiting for you
At times I wish I could skip to the end
But I know I would be missing 
Heaven with you 

They say
You have to love yourself 
Before you can love another
They say
You have to find out who you are
Before you can take a journey with another

Why is it so hard to find value in myself
How do I forget all the pain I've felt
Will I ever find out who I am
Praying for the strength to be a man

Tonight 
I’m waiting for the girl of my dreams
Tonight
Is the night I’m going to release my screams
Waiting 
For the night to come
Finding 
A place where I truly belong 

They say
You have to love yourself 
Before you can love another
They say
You have to find out who you are
Before you can take a journey with another

I know patience is a virtue
But its hell waiting for you
At times I wish I could skip to the end
But I know I would be missing 
Heaven with you
