Lyrics
You say I want your heart, and I guess it's alarming
Why not let it rest with me? I won't do it any harm
Things were better at the start, now you say it's 'timing'
All the changes you've been through - there's something you're hiding!
I know there's a sad side to every story
But trustin' me a little won't do you any harm
I don't wanna hear you say that you're sorry
I just want to hold you in my arms!
And you don't have to hide your heart - hide your heart!
You've been good to me - you don't take advantage of the way I feel
And I've got dreams, I just know they can be so real
'Cause I've got a feeling, that part of you wants me
But life's been hard on you, and you've hidden your heart
You know, there's a sad side to every story
But trustin' me a little won't do you any harm
I don't wanna hear you say that you're sorry
Just let me know we've made a start
And you don't have to hide your heart - hide your heart!
'Cause I still love you ...
Nothing will ever change that feeling deep inside ...
I know it'll grow ... if you let me in ... into your heart ...
Ya, you don't have to hide your heart - hide your heart!
