lyrics

Verse 1
There's a secret and it's dancing on her tongue
But she can't find the words to tell me what she's done
i hold her hands and say "my girl you're still the one for me"
Won't you open up your heart

She turns away to watch the clouds in the sky
I watch her shoulders tremble as she starts to cry
She says "I wanna tell you but I'm afraid you'll say goodbye to me"
"Can you open up your heart?"

Chorus 1
I want you to love me
I want you to care
I want you to see me
To see I am here

I'm dying in the shadows
I'm lost in this dark
I wanna show you my heart
So we can begin to love

Verse 2
There's ghost and it is standing by her side
I know he's there I see the shame in her eyes
Pulls her from my arms back into the night
Please baby open up your heart

She says What careless fools we are when we were young
How I wish that I could go turn back the winter sun
Rewrite the pages of the tragedy I've spun
Oh please I just wanna open up my heart

Chorus 2
Baby I still love you
My darling I care
Baby I see you
And I'm still standing here

Oh my love you're still beautiful
Yeah you shine like a star
Let me show you my heart
So we can begin to love

Bridge
Long before we met there was a fire that burned red
He made sweet promises and as he crept into my bed
When the sun came he made off with my love

In my head I told myself I was too young
To bear the weight of another lost soul under this sun
I signed my name and signed away my heart

Sometimes I feel his little heart beating through my skin
As if he was sleeping but now he's back in my arms again
But when I wake that dream is gone with the morning light
