You close your eyes and laugh, let's enjoy today
But behind your smile, there's something you won't say
I wish there was a way to get through to you
But you're clinging for dear life to your point of view
You lock your heart inside a cage
Convinced you'll never love again
Conceal your hurt, conceal your rage
Deep within
But I'm not him, I won't deceive you
I will stay, I'd never leave you
Trust yourself, take a chance
And let something good begin
You close your eyes and sigh, turn your face away
It's like you don't believe a single word I say
You're quiet and withdrawn, there's nothing I can do
Is it so hard to believe I want to be with you?
You lock your heart inside a cage
Convinced you'll never love again
Conceal your hurt, conceal your rage
Deep within
But I'm not him, I won't deceive you
I will stay, I'd never leave you
Trust yourself, take a chance
And let something good begin
If you tell me to go, I'll go
We'll never know
What could have been if you'd
Said, "Stay"
You lock your heart inside a cage
Convinced you'll never love again
Conceal your hurt, conceal your rage
Deep within
But I'm not him, I won't deceive you
I will stay, I'd never leave you
Trust yourself, take a chance
And let something good begin
I'm not him, I won't deceive you
I will stay, I'd never leave you
Trust yourself, take a chance
And let something good begin
