Verse 2:

        As love is reality
        When you are near to me, I am in ecstacy

        Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]

        A million years, I would wait for you
        A million tears, baby I'd be true
        A million miles, I would follow you
        A million years, if you want me to

Verse 3:

        Pacing the floor, detest
        Sweat pouring down my chest, still I can't love you less
        It's worth all the pain and pride
        Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and]
