If I could
I'd put away my sorrow
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
To let you know how I feel
If I could
I'd look you in the eyes
And it wouldn't be a surprise
I would know what to say
But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do
Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you
But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you
If I could
Every time you held me close
Remembering when love at most
Burned in flames
Died away
If I could
I'd take you by the hand
And I'm sure you'd understand
Why it is I want you so
But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do
Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you
But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise always to keep
This broken heart that wants you
