the only thing that matters lyrics

Late at night, silence is everywhere
Visions of you in my head
I think of the time
That we were meant to share

Lying alone in my bed
I never listened, baby
I never took the time
I'm left with memories
Of when you were mine

I don't want to be alone anymore
I want love the way it was before
And I'll do anything to make you see
You're the love of my life

You're the only thing that matters to me
Say it's alright, tell me that it isn't true
It's something that I just don't understand
All my life I've been waiting for someone like you
But I let you slip through my hands, yeah

What was I thinking, baby?
I must have lost my way
Now I'm just a-longing for yesterday
I don't want to be alone anymore

I want love the way it was before
And I'll do anything to make you see
You're the love of my life
You're the only thing that matters to me

I don't want to spend my whole life dreaming
When here in my arms is where you should be
I don't want to be alone anymore
I want love the way it was before

And I'll do anything to make you see
You're the love of my life
You're the only thing that matters
That matters to me, oh baby, yeah, to me
