I would like to write the words
but they run around in my head
I wish I could say
please stay
But if I do would you

I try to give you reasons
to be with me
they all seem hollow
when I look at me
I should look at you not me

I try to see what it is
inside me that wants to hold your love
but I only see confusion
and mistrust
Give me the answer

I know you cannot
because the answer is really
locked within my own heart
if I would be loved
then first I must love

Set free is where you should be
not trapped within my heart
because I need love
teach me freedom
then I will know true love
