My skin feels like it's on fire
When your eyes fall on me
Should I happen to meet your gaze...
Oh, please spare me
Fully clothed I am vulnerable
Open completely to you
I see my secrets spilling forward
Dying to reveal themselves to you
They crawl toward the light
Your stare
I feel you looking into my soul
You smile as if you knew
Suddenly it all becomes clear
Seeing all that you do
What always exists
But others don't know it's there
What caused my sudden silence
The slightest pause in my speech
When I'm trying to close up
And shy away
Casting light into my darkest corners
With you is a safe place to be
It simply has to be true
When you tell me that you love me
