Richard Marx - Wouldn't Let Me Love You

Lyrics:
I'm standing here paralyzed, 
so helpless right before your eyes 
and all that you can seem to do 
is look away

I know this weight that's on my shoulders
Is telling me it's really over
And now goodbye's the only thing that's
Left to say

You were always worth the risk
But how'd it come to this

Cause I opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you.
You couldn't let me love you.

I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you.
Couldn't let me love you.

Somehow you said all the right things
To cover up the pain you're hiding
And never let me in close enough to touch

You live with all these walls around you
Impossible for me to break through
And baby even I can only fight so much

And it's cutting me so deep
The promises I tried to keep

Cause I opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you.
You couldn't let me love you.

I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you.
Couldn't let me love you.

(Guitar solo)

And you should've been the one
The more I love the more you run

I opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you.
You couldn't let me love you.

I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you.
:Couldn't let me love you: (repeat)

I'm standing here paralyzed,
so helpless right before your eyes
and all that you can do
is look away

Artist: Richard Marx
Song: Wouldn't Let Me Love You

This song is quite beautiful. It's the first single from Marx's new album "Inside My Head", which is going to be released June 1.
I like his voice and the overall sound. The guitar solo is also quite good.

I hope you like it :)

  1. I think the lyrics and the guitar solo is what I liked the most about this song. I also think that repeating the first part of the first verse in the end is sweet, somewhat classic for this kind of music, but I really enjoy it! :)

    1. I'm glad you like the lyrics! That makes the effort to write them down feel like it was worth it :)
      Yeah, the repeating the first verse thing has been used a lot. I've even done it myself :p
      I think it's a great way to end a song :)
