Could I let you inside?

Would you even be mine?

Would you look at me and see

Something that I don't despise?



Life has dealt me a low blow,

Giving me a face I could never show.

You make me want to risk everything,

You are the one I want to know.



Do you even know how I need you?

Prove to me that dreams can come true.

I would give up everything to feel your heart,

My own has been beaten black and blue.



Kiss it a few times and I'll feel like I'm yours.

Only you are the reason that my broken heart still soars.

You would wince if you felt my scar,

And saw the blood that it pours.



Maybe the dream had always been a lie.

But I won't believe it, you will not make me cry.

I'll hold on to the dream that one day,

I'll be the one you wake up beside.
