There's so much pain
Pain behind us, behind beside us, pain through us
Pain to make us or erase our sense of trust
Pain to bring us close or to undo us

I wanted you
In truth I want you still
But you're so far away
Unless I play the rules by which you want to play

But then I feel you push me back
As if it's challenge that you lack

I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me
I won't be still

You're so alone
Do you deserve it I know you think so
Do you know what's real?
Are you afraid what something real could make you feel?

You stayed with him
On the losing side, you never gave in
But he's so far away
And if he didn't help you then, he won't today

And you're afraid to make the leap
But I only play my heart for keeps

I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me
I won't be still

I want you still
Or I could wait for you to come
To the realization

And say lover reveal love, never conceal love--I want you still
Lover be careful before you lose me--I won't be still
