All alone in my dreams
Though my heart could use some peace
If it weren't for all this weight I put on me
In times like these
I'm always on my knees
Waiting for the truth to rescue me
Oh, I've been locked on repeat, on repeat, on repeat
No one can save me, save me
Try as they might
Only I hold the key
Don't be afraid
Don't be ashamed
Don't waste away

When I was 17
I found love in a dream
We were working on a ranch in the 1940s
When my eyes locked on hers
My secret was born
One day, I'll love a woman
That's what my heart's designed for
Then I walked with my hand on my chest
Filled up with things to please
Somehow I'd escaped my loneliness
And four years after that the secret I kept
Became a weight that no one should take
Try as they might but I couldn't escape
And so every night with my hand on my chest
I yearn to return to that dream and that kiss
Again just to feel what I couldn't reveal
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
Don't be shamed (don't be ashamed)
Don't waste away
You have been loved (you have been loved)
Light still shines on us (light shines)
Your beautiful heart is more than enough
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
Your beautiful heart (beautiful heart)
Is more than enough
