She holds the pain so close that sometimes it's too hard to breathe,
the past has cast a shadow and it's so hard to believe,
that anyone could make her feel the spark that starts the flame,
that part of her that's so unsure. is it real or just a game?

There's nothing I can tell you that will wash away your fear,
but let me tell you now how much that I wish you were here,
so you could look into my eyes and see what's deep inside,
and know my soul calls out to yours with feelings I can't hide.

You touch me with your laughter and I want to take your pain,
I want to hold you close as we both slow dance in the rain,
I want to know your secret dreams, I want to dry your tears,
I want to have you by my side and put to rest your fears.

I'm waiting for a sign from you that says you want the chance,
to live, to feel, to love, be real, and together, we will dance.
