Michelle Lyrics by Cody ChesnuTT

The Headphone Masterpiece

2002

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful girl that I've ever seen
We made a promise to each other to be faithful
Even talked about exchanging vows at a wedding chapel
But I slept around and she found out
And now she wants to leave me
Regretting what I've done, I've fallen to my knees
I took a chance and shared my lust with another
I let you down, so I deserve to be a prisoner
Of me and you and all the memories we made as one
To make excuses would be foolish because there's none
If there's such thing as a second chance, then I'd like one
To turn the page beyond the damage done
[Chorus]
Don't take your love away, Michelle
Don't take the only true love I've known
I can't live alone
Don't take your love away, Michelle
My heart is bigger than my pride
I would even cry if it kept you by my side
Don't take your love away from me, Michelle
[Bridge]
As I plead, can you find it in your loving heart to forgive me?
I'm kneeling with a tortured heart in hand
Speaking to you as a shell of a man
Asking you to let me in again
[Verse 2]
I'm calling out to the rose I once had in my possession
Now I'm dreaming of the past
Dreaming of you and all your loving truth I took for granted
I tried a million times, I still can't understand it
How I could be so cruel, selfish and unclean
And how could I betray the trust that you had in me?
[Chorus]
Don't take your love away, Michelle
Don't take the only true love I've known
I can't live alone
I'm living in a lonely hell
My heart is bigger than my pride
I would even cry if you let me back inside
Never take your love away from me, Michelle
[Chorus]
Don't take your love away, Michelle
Don't take the only true love I've known
I can't live alone
I'm living in the loneliest hell
Never take your love away from me, Michelle
