[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

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
