(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
|
Don't want to need the way I need you
|
Don't want to feel like this
|
Holding back all the words but not the kiss
|
For the moment my heart begins to murmur
|
The moment of truth arrives
|
And I know you'll shake your head and say goodbye
|
|
I know the price of this to me
|
I'll light the candle that shines on you
|
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
|
|
Don't want to fear the way I fear you'll
|
Hurt me because you can
|
I never believed I'd crave that kind of man
|
I've seen the trail of hearts you've broken
|
I've seen the traps you lay
|
And if I had the strengh I'd run without delay
|
|
I know the price of this to me
|
I'll light the candle that shines on you
|
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
|
|
It's dark and getting colder and I'm the beholder
|
And you're all I long to see
|
|
Don't want to love the way I love you...
|
|
I know the price of this to me
|
I'll light the candle that shines on you
|
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
|
|
I know the price of this to me
|
I'll light the candle that shines on you
|
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
|
