I don't wanna be hurt And I don't wanna hurt you I will, I won't I long to be known But what if you really knew? You will, you won't I will, I won't I will, I won't betray you And I won't let you down God knows I've tried to do it by myself But I can't make it alone Can I let you up close? Can I keep you from seeing? I will, I won't If I tell you where I'm weak You can use it against me You will, you won't The vow plus the fear, I want you right here Should I take off the mask or remain in the clear, Where I won't let you down? God knows I've tried to do it by myself But I can't make it alone God knows I'm tired, and crying for His help To right what I've done wrong This is the sound of taking a risk Of letting you in, of shaking my fist This is the sound of trying again When I see where I'm going and see where I've been Come what may, come what may
