[Verse 1]
Excuse me for this
I just want a kiss
I just wanna know what it feels like to touch
Somethin' so pure
Somethin' I'm so sure of
What it feels like to stand outside your door
I'm unworthy
I can see you're above me
But I can be lovely, given the chance

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
I wanna remember you just like this
Don't move
It's only a breath or two between our lips

[Chorus]
I know why you left
I can't blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I've been a mess since you've known me
I can't promise forever, but I'm workin' on it
If I can't hold you, can I give you a kiss?
Can I have a kiss?

[Verse 2]
I see that you're torn
I've got some scars of my own
Seems I want what I know is gonna leave me hungry

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't move
I need to remember you just like this

[Chorus]
I know why you left
I can't blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I've been a mess since you've known me
I can't promise forever, but I'm workin' on it
If I can't hold you, can I give you a kiss?
Can I?

[Bridge]
All I have
All I can give to you, I will
Just promise this
If I can't have forever
Can I have a kiss?
Kiss, kiss, oh

[Chorus]
I know why you left
I can't blame you myself
Must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell
I tried to warn you
I've been a mess since you've known me
I can't promise forever, but I'm workin' on it
If I can't hold you
Can I give you a kiss?
Can I give you a kiss?

[Outro]
Can I, can I, can I have a kiss?

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
