When I'm finally honest
you doubt what I feel
Don't you think I would know
When my feelings are real
I know all these years
I've caused you so much pain
And maybe all this heartache
Will cause relationship strain
But maybe we should try
Before we just give it all up
You say it's not enough for us
But what more do we need than love
You fought to push yourself in my life
I fought to push you away
Now I'm pulling to keep you from going
And I fear you'll choose not to stay
If you're going to leave
Just answer me this
Why is your every embrace so tight?
And why do you tremble when we kiss?
