Why do I close the door on you
Exclude, refuse this part of me
What is the fear I hold on to
The wall I build and place between
Your searching eyes - and mine, rehearsed
Evasive, distant, hard
Why must I choose the perfect time
The moments you may enter in -
There's no negotiation there
No sense of what it is to share
Just 'you may come this far - no more'
The rest left to another hour
And in the midst of all of this
You stand with all your hopes and fears
With open arms
And longing for my tenderness
Then how I long to call you here
Caress and hold you very near
To comfort you, and lead you to the child inside
O never loose this part of you - no surrender
Believe and love and fight you way to me
for only you could come this far
And how I need you to...
Stone by stone dismantle this proud heart of mine
And stay with me, that we may journey on as one
