I see myself when I look in your eyes
And all of the sadness you're keeping inside
Oh, baby, can't you see?
If anyone knows, if anyone knows it's me
So many years I've tried to pretend
That I would live on in silence my friend
Then something changed in me
Funny how love, it's funny how love sets you free
Don't run away from my love
It could save you if only you'll stay with me
How many tears will you cry in the dark
Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
"What can I do?" I hear you say
Feels like I'm frozen or driftin' away
Can my love unlock the door?
And you won't be lonely, you won't be lonely no more
Just hold me, hold me tight and don't let go
There's just one thing that you got to know
And that is love, it holds the key, baby
So why don't take it, why don't you take it from me?
Don't run away from my love
It could save you if only you'll stay
How many tears will you cry in the dark
Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
Oh, you just can't keep me away, not another day, baby
You gotta open up and let me in
Don't try to run away 'cuz I've got so much to say, but
I could love you if you'd let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
