You were there
When it fell apart
I've been so afraid
Of opening my heart
But you were sweet
And you were kind
And you just waited
Didn't leave me behind
It's been so long
Since somethin went right
I'm so afraid
This will break by first light
I want to believe
That this time is true
I want to trust
That I really can love you
I'm used to hurt
And I'm used to pain
When I flew too close
I got burned by the flame
Your presence soothes
My aching skin
I want to find
I'm still tender within
It's been so long
Since somethin went right
I'm so afraid
This will break by first light
I want to believe
That this time is true
I want to trust
That I really can love you
I need to recover
I need to find my stride
Can i really do that
With someone by my side
The old adage haunts me
To thine own self be true
Can I find my balance
When I'm leaning on you
It's been so long
Since somethin went right
I'm so afraid
This will break by first light
I want to believe
That this time is true
I want to trust
That I really can love you
It's been so long
Since somethin went right
I'm so afraid
This will break by first light
I want to believe
That this time is true
I want to trust
That I really can love you
