If I

If I could open my heart to let you see

All the secrets hidden deep within me

Would you turn away and run

Would you stay and hold me tighter tonight


If I could open my mind and let you in 

I wonder what you would choose to see

The broken mess that lies within me 

Or the truth I have hidden from you


If I could tell you all the things I want to say

All the words I keep under lock and key

Would I have the strength to let them free

Would I be too scared to make a sound


If I could loan you my eyes to let you see

The beauty I see when I look upon you

The shattered hopes and tattered dreams

The memories I wish we could create


If I could loan you my hands so that you could feel 

The love I have for you, hidden where I dare not go
