I would like to love you, but I don't know if I can
darkness all around me- I've got no place here to stand
I've got nothing to hold on to, just an unknown love to find
I don't know what is real and true and what's just dancing
dancing across my mind
I would like to love you, but I've been a long, long time alone
I found my truest of true loves so many times,
but he had a pathway of his own
and the walls around me, they fall harder these days
feelings and reasons still out of phase
but with caution prevailing and tentative steps,
I wait and I wonder where you'll take me next
I would like to love you, but can you reach out
reach out to me now
lay those soft, soft touches upon my fears
and draw out my strength somehow
I would love to love you, but I'm much too afraid to try, it's true...
But please see through my resistance...
between my longing and my distance
I'm just pretending to be blind to you
I'm not really so blind to you
