You're not in control when there's demands put on your heart

You don't even know, cause when it's real you fall too hard

And yet even so, you try to play like nothing's wrong

No you can't run away, there is no hiding place

'Cause you can't run from your heart



Your eyes they tell me secrets that you, you can't deny

Your eyes they show me feelings that you hold deep inside

How do I know the secrets that you try to hide

'Cause when I look in your eyes

The truth is a lie

I knew you'd be mine



So now that it's on, it's time to face reality

It's time to be strong, take all your insecurities, baby

Don't be afraid, you gotta let your feelings flow

No you can't run away, there is no hiding place

You gotta be true to your heart



HOOK



Now that you're all turned out

Don't you just love the way that it feels yeah

Yeah

Now you can't do without my love and you know that's for real

Now why you deny yourself i will never never never understand

Because i love you and you love me too

And that's just the way that it is yeah



HOOK to fade
