I've always told you the whole truth
I let all my pride surrender
To your questions, to your looks
For no embrace was more tender

I lay myself to sleep at night
Your words still ringing in my mind

For when you held me so tight
And promised me all your strength
Kisses for entire nights
There were no doubts in our heads

Just can't believe you said those things
What's the use in speaking what you don't mean?

For when I asked if you could
understand me, let my eyes see
while attempting
to prove what you felt for me

When I disclosed my secrets
To your own heart
You kept yours apart
Like some false start
You never thought I should be the one

Now, I lie down on the floor
I can't stop thinking about
The beautiful times we spent
Were they just lies, hollow sounds?

I've never felt so empty
You took that strength away from me

For when I asked if you could
understand me, let my eyes see
while attempting
to prove what you felt for me

There was no fear that I could
Be mistaken
I felt safe then
I could face everything
when you cared for me

I should have known better that
When you give too much
When you hope to touch
Someone's inner soul
defensively disappears

When I disclosed my secrets
To your own heart
You kept yours apart
Like some false start
You never thought I should be the one
Didn't think I could be the one
