You throw your arms open wide and I extend a hand I'm running out of excuses not to let you in Call it the burden of the human race My deepest longing and my deepest fear are exactly the same If you really knew me could you really love me I keep on hiding out and holding it in If you really saw me would you really want me I don't know how to let you love me again And I extend my hand I hear us talking around the words we ought to say I'll be a sketch of myself for now to play it safe Still I can feel you pulling on my heart And I could tell you what I want in the head But I'm lost in my head at the start If you really knew me could you really love me I keep on hiding out and holding it in If you really saw me would you really want me I don't know how to let you love me again And I extend my hand If you really knew me could you really love me I keep on hiding out and holding it in If you really saw me would you really want me I don't know how to let you love me again
