Richard Marx - Wouldn't Let Me Love You Lyrics






I'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can seem to do is look away
I know this weight that's on my shoulders
Is telling me it's really over
And now goodbye's the only thing that's left to say

You were always worth the risk
But how'd it come to this

Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I Let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you

Somehow you said all the right things
To cover up the pain you're hiding
And never let me in close enough to touch
You live with all these walls around you
Impossible for me to break through
And baby even I can only fight so much

And it's cutting me so deep
Promises I tried to keep

Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I lied to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you

And you should have been the one
The more I love, the more you run

I opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you

Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
You wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me

I'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can do is look away

  79. P.... M....

    why is the whole thing overexposed.. 

    P.... M....

    not to show the lines on his face 

    P.... M....

    @PMQMed Ia It's sexposed !!!!!!

  80. s.... ....

    There's a such a bitter undertone to not just the lyric, but the vocal as well. Richard: did you know the writing was on the wall when you wrote this song? Sure as hell sounds like it.

    s.... ....

    I have a feeling that the marriage was pretty much over at this point and that's what this song is about. It came out about 2 years before the announcement of their divorce, which was after a 9 month long legal separation. Look at his face. He looks older here then he does now, or even in the videos that came out in 2014. I think that the stress of trying to make the marriage work and then coming to the realization that it wasn't going to, no matter what he did, took a toll on him---causing him to look older than he was, pretty much for the first time EVER! He puts a lot of emotion in every song, but this one, unfortunately probably came straight from his breaking heart. But thankfully, he's happy now and I hope that Cynthia is as well. Love the song and the video! 4 very talented men in this one.

    s.... ....

    @Veronica Ogle I think you nailed it.

  81. C.... R....

    Beautiful... Just beautiful!

  82. N.... K....

    sublime

  83. j.... b....

    He looks like he has cancer or something??? Is he ok?

    j.... b....

    It's called heart break.

    j.... b....

    Deon Kelly Was this made after his divorce?

    j.... b....

    @Jacquelyn King I believe it was a matter of months prior to the separation.

  84. k.... i....

    love his voice,,so special :) 

  85. C.... C....

    great song !...

  86. M.... A....

    Just so amazing

  87. J.... C....

    great song with his children!!

  88. s.... ....

    Yes, Brandon is his eldest son; who is also a father now.

    s.... ....

    steammaker24 Really?Holy &?£@! I'll bet he's a great father- just like his dad, Richard Marx. And now that you mention it, I think they should point out to the wayward and self-centered fathers-to-be that it takes a real man to be a dad. By the way, did Brandon have a son or daughter?

    s.... ....

    No, Brandon isn't a father. That was some made-up gossip.

  89. T.... S....

    Richard Marx still bringing it, he's the one artist I would aspire to be like!!!

  90. F.... M....

    still the best! nothing change!

  91. f.... e....

    lol songs

  92. o.... ....

    This is my favorite song. Man, it's so funny how I couldn't put two and two together as to why all the band members look like him. If they ever decide to break out into the business like their dad, I will definitely be waiting to hear them too.

    o.... ....

    onlyallegra His song Lucas Marx has released some really good music and is an actor. Brandon Marx does trance music/clubland & is a d.j. Jesse Marx is in a heavy metal band.

  93. D.... V....

    Lived this song. Richard Marx is a genius songwriter and I'm thankful he has such insight and ability to convey with words what most of us can only feel and have no way to express. Thank you Richard, for a long meaningful career of great songs! Very happy to see your sons have been given some of that same talent! Awesome video, all 4 of you are magical together!

  94. r.... ....

    Another notch from the greatest love song writer ever!

  95. Y.... G....

    You are still so incredible....wow!

  96. L.... G....

    Acaso te conté mi historia Richard...???? :B

  97. A.... B....

    amazing..

  98. K.... O....

    Love it!!!
