I love you so much I can't let you go
And sometimes I believe you love me
But somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a door without any_____.

Somewhere between your heart and mine
There's a window that I can't see through
There's a wall so _____  it reaches the sky
Somewhere between me and you.

Somewhere between your heart and mine

And I'm left in the middle _____.

Somewhere between me and you...
