In My Own Way - Roxette, Per Gessle

I gathered a mountain

An ocean of teardrops

A castle of break-ups

To hide myself in

I’ve waited a lifetime

For someone to find me

For someone to reach me

Somewhere to begin

Now I’m a woman

I can tell by the look in your eyes

We’re no strangers

I can tell by the way that you smile

I’ve painted the sunsets

The dawnings I’ve missed you

The hours I’ve kissed you

To keep my heart alive

It’s the heat of your breathing

The way you are whispering

The urge of your wanting

I can’t leave you behind

Now I’m a woman

I can tell by the look in your eyes

We’re no strangers

I can tell by the waves in the night

You bring a little hope, bring a little love

I don’t want to own you

I don’t want to lead you

I just want to love you

In my own way
