I want to paint you by number
And fill all your blank spaces in
Time and space may separate us,
But heartstrings know no end
And these words in my heart
Just need the chance to be spoken,
So I'm telling you now and hoping it's worth something...
"I see everything I ever wanted in your eyes and I'm afraid"
And my instincts are to run away
Because it's not easy being strong,
And I've done it for, oh, so long,
But now here I stand helplessly waiting for your love.
When want became need my heart had no choice
Somehow you saved me from a lifetime of not
being all that love could make me worth,
I just ask that you please be tender
Because, it's to you that I solemnly surrender.
