Born to Make You Happy Lyrics

I'm sitting here alone up in my room And thinking about the times that we've been through (oh my love) I'm looking at a picture in my hand Trying my best to understand I really want to know what we did wrong With a love that felt so strong If only you were here tonight I know that we could make it right [CHORUS:] I don't know how to live without your love I was born to make you happy 'Cause you're the only one within my heart I was born to make you happy Always and forever you and me That's the way our life should be I don't know how to live without your love I was born to make you happy I know I've been a fool since you've been gone I'd better give it up and carry on (oh my love) 'Cause living in a dream of you and me Is not the way my life should be I don't want to cry a tear for you So forgive me if I do If only you were here tonight I know that we could make it right [Repeat CHORUS] I'd do anything, I'd give you my world I'd wait forever, to be your girl Just call out my name, and I will be there Just to show you how much I care [Repeat CHORUS]

The song reveals a profound sadness and confusion, as she grapples with what went wrong in a once-powerful relationship, lamenting her foolishness since his departure.
