It's not that I can't do it. It's more of a "I-don't-want-to" type of situation. I don't want to commit Or make promises that I know I can't keep. That just wouldn't be fair, & I wouldn't dare hurt you again. I'm much too scared to take that chance. But believe me, I wish I could- I want to more than anything. If I had the opportunity, I would tell you everything And show you all that I've had to hide. All the closed doors Sealed up windows Would be yours to open up. I would hold your hand Proud and tight Because I'd want the world to see that I'm yours. There would be no secrets No more blurred lines. Just you and me Like you've always wanted. But I know that as much as I want for this to happen, I won't let it.
