From the moment I saw you and breathed your light,
                     I knew one day I would give in to the fight
                     Going on inside of me - the twisting and pulling.
                     It was once only my heart that you were fooling.
                     Why do you ask; why do you try?
                     My mind keeps telling me it's all one big lie.
                     You say what you want is simply my heart,
                     But I know in the end it will be torn all apart.
                     Because what I want you don't have to give;
                     We're worlds apart in these lives we live.
                     In some ways we're different and some we're the same.
                     Our minds so alike, but this isn't a game.
                     We have fun challenging to see who is stronger,
                     But I don't want to get hurt if this goes on longer.
                     I try not to think about you or let you get in,
                     And time after time the thoughts creep back in.
                     What happens when it ends after one time we meet?
                     What we have scares me - this passion, this heat.
                     The hunger inside of me to make you mine
                     Is the driving force pushing me to cross that line.
                     My path it leads me to always want more;
                     Just as it has every time before.
                     'Til I scare you, and you decide to leave.
                     In my mind this will happen; it's what I believe.
                     Although I see this from beginning to end,
                     I won't let go because you are more than a friend.
                     So do what you must, but know how I feel.
                     Be gentle with my heart for it will have to heal.
                     I promise not to hurt you and to love you forever.
                     I won't leave you now; I won't leave you ever.
                     So take my hand and show me the way;
                     I give you my heart and my trust this day
                     To only look forward as we begin a new year
                     And try not to give in to what I fear.
                     So, if you want to and think you can
                     Love me for who and what I am,
                     Then I will follow my heart instead of my head
                     Remembering your promises and all that you've said.
