[Verse 1]
Do you know
How it feels
Lying here without you, baby?
You could never understand what's happening to me
So alone
Nothing's real
I just dream about you, baby
And forever wonder why you had to break free

[Chorus]
Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again

[Verse 2]
It's so hard
To believe
I don't have you right beside me
As I long to touch you, but you're out of my reach
And my heart doesn't feel
It's so very cold inside of me
Just a shadow of someone that I used to be

[Chorus]
Oh, even though you're not my lover, baby
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again

[Bridge]
You were the only one (Only one)
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Oh, where did I go wrong?

[Chorus]
Even though you're not my lover, baby
And even though you're not my friend (Oh, no, no, no)
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
Just to hold you once again

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
