"To Have and to Hold"
music & lyrics by Ana-Marija Saric

[verse 1]:
I do not want to be hurt, here
I'm just waiting for you, dear
to open your mind
see what you will find is:

Love is not meant to be cruel
Love is not meant to duel

[chorus 1]:
And I want you to see me for who I am
then maybe you'll find a way to understand
I'm not here to make you my biggest fan
I'm here to bring out the man in you
I'm here to be who I am with you

[verse 2]:
And if you don't want me I'll go my way
but don't keep asking me to stay
If you want to change me
I'm full of mistakes but

Love is not meant to seclude them
Love is meant to include everything

[chorus 2]:
And I want you to see me for who I am
then maybe you'll find a way to understand
I'll take you completely for all that you hold
I'm here to break through the mold of you
I'm here to break through the cold with you

Whoa-oh (2x)

[chorus 3]:
And I want to see you for who you are
accept you and love you with my whole heart
I'll take you completely for all that you hold
I'm here to bring out the gold in you
I'm here to have and to hold you

[bridge]:
I have to bring myself to forgive you everyday
but what I choose is to love you anyway

I have to forgive you everyday
but I still love you anyway

[chorus 3]:
And I want to see you for who you are
accept you and love you with my whole heart
I'll take you completely for all that you hold
I'm here to bring out the gold in you
I'm here to have and to hold with you

[coda]:
I'm here to bring out the gold in you
I'm here to have and to hold you

I have to forgive you everyday
but I still love you anyway
