the Game?

If I told you what was in my heart

Would you promise me we’d never part

Or would you turn and walk away from me

Would you feel the same way I do

Or is this just a game for you

I wish you would open your eyes and see

I know I’m not the man of your dreams

Every time I tell you how I feel, it seems

You just pull farther away

If you could see what is inside

If you could see how hard I try

Maybe then i would hear you say

The words I know are true

Darling, I love you

If I pledge undying love to you

Would you promise to be true

To the one who loves with all his heart

Would you promise to be mine

Give your heart freely all the time

Or return to your old ways when we’re apart

I know I’m not the man of your dreams

Every time I tell you how I feel, it seems

You just pull farther away

If you could see what is inside

If you could see how hard I try

Maybe then i would hear you say

The words I know are true

Darling, I love you

…I wont wait forever

…But I can give you time

…To find the truth inside yourself

…To realize that you are mine

…But if you keep walking out that door

…To try and find your way

…One day you’ll find yourself alone

…That’s the price you sometimes pay

For hiding feelings deep inside

I know I’m not the man of your dreams

Every time I tell you how I feel, it seems

You just pull farther away

If you could see what is inside

If you could see how hard I try

Maybe then i would hear you say

The words I know are true

Darling, I love you
