"Tell me what I gotta do"
"There's no getting through to you"
No matter how hard I try
You're holding back and I don't know why
"You say I can't understand"
"But you're not giving me a chance"
To listen, to help, to love you, to dance
Every time I get closer
You run from the exposure
"You keep running like the sky is falling"
But really it's just me, with your name I'm calling
I've bled myself open with honest truths
Now "tell me how to fall in love with you the way you want me to"
Quit hiding from me,
All I want to do
Is care for you,
Intimately
Let me care
You've seen me so bare
This burden we can share
It's hardly fair
Why aren't you there?

"Tell me what I gotta do"
"There's no getting through to you"
No matter how hard I try
You're holding back and I don't know why
"You say I can't understand"
"But you're not giving me a chance"
To listen, to help, to love you, to dance
Every time I get closer
You run from the exposure
"You keep running like the sky is falling"
But really it's just me, with your name I'm calling
I've bled myself open with honest truths
Now "tell me how to fall in love with you the way you want me to"
Quit hiding from me,
All I want to do
Is care for you,
Intimately
Let me care
You've seen me so bare
This burden we can share
It's hardly fair
Why aren't you there?
