Lyrics
I’m not some wonderboy, I can’t comprehend
the standards we’re supposed to meet, these means to an end.
I know I got a heart that’s bigger than life, tell me how’m I gonna get you to love me?
You can play a role, you can play the game
but deep down inside, we both want the same.
IF YOU COULD OPEN YOUR HEART, IF YOU COULD LET YOURSELF GO
I COULD LOVE YOU LIKE NOBODY’S EVER LOVED YOU BEFORE.
IF YOU COULD BREAK DOWN YOUR WALL FOR A MOMENT
AND SET YOURSELF FREE... (I know that you would love me)
IF YOU COULD HOLD OUT YOUR HAND, THROW YOUR FEARS OFF THE SHELF
YOU COULD SEE WHAT LIFE COULD BE WHEN YOU ARE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
IF YOU COULD OPEN YOUR EYES FOR A MOMENT
THEN MAYBE YOU’LL SEE...THE ONLY ONE FOR YOU IS ME.
I still believe there is a road to your heart
that cuts right through the cynical and clinical part.
Just let me in, you’ll never go it alone, tell me how’m I gonna get you to love me?
You can’t hide from truth, can’t ignore the scar
look into my eyes, and you’ll see who you really are.
IF YOU COULD OPEN YOUR HEART…
I don’t want to have to fight a long day’s journey into night,
there’s no need for playing games when everything could be so right,
you could be everything to me...
IF YOU COULD OPEN YOUR HEART…
