Still I Know You

oh baby, if you came a little closer
my heart would easily detect 
your pain.

oh baby let our words not be in vain
i have wandered around this world
you try to hide but still i see you
you're beautiful.
but you're afraid. why are you so afraid?

my intentions aren't to hurt you nor to
drive you insane
still i see your cracks underneath all 
that foil
open up to me 

let our flames blow free 
i'll love you... if you'd love me.
