How long can you lie to yourself
and keep your feelings under wraps?
How long can you deceive yourself
and not be honest about the facts?
How many times can you tell yourself
that you want it to be over?
How many times can you make yourself say
that I don't want to get any closer?
How long do you have to hide
to keep your true feelings inside?
How long do you have to fight
your emotions in turmoil
and keep them out of sight?
You know it's true
that your heart never lies
but you don't listen to it
even though it's wise.
You know it's a struggle
but you don't give in
because you're too proud to admit
that I make your heart sing...
You don't want to remember
the times we had together
you just want to stay holed up and sad
in anguish forever.
I wish there was some way
to stop you running away,
for me to find the key
to unlock your heart and for you to accept
that you really do love me.
