Gerald Goode
The fear is growing weaker
With every passing day you look my way
I’m falling even deeper
And I wouldn’t dare to speak the things I say
But I’m afraid you’ll go away
You say, “There’s nobody else - just you and me,”
And that “…the future’s bound to thrill, but there’s no guarantee
You see I’m undecided.”
You tie me up into knots when you talk like this
But I just seem to come apart when I feel your kiss
And I’m good to hide it
I’m glad you haven’t sighted that
CHORUS:
I love you better than myself
And I trust you better than myself
I’m coming down – no wonder
As you just fly away and I get small
And I just pray
I’m feeling you like thunder
I just let you reign your way and drown my heart
I trap it all away
You say, “There’s nobody else, but I love him still…”
And that “…the time is gonna come when I’ve had my fill,
But for now we leave it open-ended.”
But you restrain me beyond my sheer force of will
And yet I’ve got the strength to swallow all your bitter pills
On which I’ve depended
I hope you’re not offended that
CHORUS x’s 2
In the light of darkness I can throw it all away
Hanging on the edge of every word you’d think to say
End the ringing of the bell you hold - I’ll still obey
And I will just go hungry for awhile
And I will just go hungry for awhile
CHORUS
