Running the Risk Lyrics by Foreigner

Mr. Moonlight

1994

[Verse 1]
Seeing you, watching you
Watching me
I hold back my emotions
I keep them veiled in secrecy
I can't let go of this thing we've started
Wasn't looking for love
No conspiracy of the broken hearted
I don't know how far to go
Until I'm gone, gone, gone
I couldn't see the danger
It was just a little taste of temptation
I could not read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

[Chorus 1]
And there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

[Verse 2]
I'm lost drowning in a sea of emotion
I've got one simple need
I need you to feel my devotion
I don't know how far to go
Until I'm gone, yeah gone
It's a complicated picture
I'm all tangled up in temptation
I couldn't read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm walking this tightrope
You're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Losing you

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
I'm telling you honey
This heart of mine can't run the risk
Of losing you again
Everything have made you do
I'm still running the risk of losing you
