I want to try

I would lay down my life for you
But I find it so hard to tell you how I feel
Make me speak the truth, express what I don't understand myself
It wouldn't be hard to fight you
To push away the questions
Ignore the pleads I can hear in your voice
But somehow, someway I just don't want to

I cherish you so much that I just can't hide anything from you
Some of the time I really want to
But the words won't stay inside
They spill forth from my heart and out of my mouth
Is this what love is?

No secrets
The warmth of knowing I belong somewhere
To someone
Knowing the hiding is useless
That is always best to tell you the truth

But I'm afraid of love
Afraid to be cared for
In fear of being wanted
But I still want to try

Can you understand the delusions of a fool
The silly immature words I use
Dumb questions I can't help wanting to know
Worries so unfounded

My heart won't stop fluttering though
Breathing is so difficult
I almost feel sick
But my body floods with heat every time I hear your voice
A smile so real highlights my features and I become brand new

Is this what love is?
This can't be lust
These feelings i try to lock up and hide
This has to be real
This has to be love

Feelings i've never felt
That, in truth, I barely understand
I react without thinking now
Where is that calm calculating person now?

Is this my instinct as a woman?
Or is this still the immature feelings of the girl in me
Who will never grow up
Who will never truly understand
And thus never achieve the real feelings that only a woman could appreciate

I fear it
But I want it so badly
to be madly, madly in love

For you to be my balm of Gilead
And soothe away my pain
To be my solace, my eternal resting place
The safe place for me to lay my head at night
Something real for the person who lives in a fantasy

But I'm still afraid
But my fear is going away
Is it wrong to feel this way?
To want to belong
No one can tell not to grasp happiness now
I won't let you slip away

Make me speak the truth, express what I don't understand myself"
