Cyrano (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Overcome
The way I feel is like falling stars
Diving into cold ocean waves
Words can only get me so far
They cannot describe the way that it hurts
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
I try to tell you
Tell you how much I need you
But I turn and run
Your letters to me are like music
They're just a mask in a lonely coward's game
What is it you're so afraid of losing?
I might lose everything if I lose the pain
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
It'd make you laugh to think someone like me
Could keep someone like you
Look what I've become
You wore your hair down one time last spring in the chapel
Your lips painted red, I remember the day
We hadn't met yet, how could you possibly remember that?
You watched me then? Why didn't you say something?
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
I try to tell you
Tell you how much I need you too
Look what I've become
Nothing feels real anymore when you're not around me
Even the sky looks like it's behind glass
Hearing your voice now, I can see everything clearly
I can see that you really are my love at last
But oh, Roxanne
I'm right here, love
Words fail me
Please come to me
I try but I can't
This is real love
Dare to believe you'd have me
I have no doubt
I know that you're the one now
You don't know anything
I know that it's you
Roxanne, if this was true
Just tell me what you need now
Then I'd need for nothing
Just tell me what to do
Diving into cold ocean waves
Words can only get me so far
They cannot describe the way that it hurts
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
I try to tell you
Tell you how much I need you
But I turn and run
Your letters to me are like music
They're just a mask in a lonely coward's game
What is it you're so afraid of losing?
I might lose everything if I lose the pain
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
It'd make you laugh to think someone like me
Could keep someone like you
Look what I've become
You wore your hair down one time last spring in the chapel
Your lips painted red, I remember the day
We hadn't met yet, how could you possibly remember that?
You watched me then? Why didn't you say something?
'Cause every time I see you
I am overcome
I try to tell you
Tell you how much I need you too
Look what I've become
Nothing feels real anymore when you're not around me
Even the sky looks like it's behind glass
Hearing your voice now, I can see everything clearly
I can see that you really are my love at last
But oh, Roxanne
I'm right here, love
Words fail me
Please come to me
I try but I can't
This is real love
Dare to believe you'd have me
I have no doubt
I know that you're the one now
You don't know anything
I know that it's you
Roxanne, if this was true
Just tell me what you need now
Then I'd need for nothing
Just tell me what to do
