I don’t express myself as well as I would always wish
That’s why I have to show you    
The universe will be a better place in which to live
If I can really know you

But as I try my best to understand your secret world
I feel I’m going around in circles
It’s hard to see how I will ever learn
What makes you happy

When all you want is someone by your side
A trusted friend in whom you can confide
Do you then think of me?
Because I’m not the enemy
             
And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

Breaking promises is easy, I’ve broken enough
I’m not proud of my behaviour
For far too long I’ve been a temperamental fool for love
Looking for a saviour

Nothing’s certain in a lifetime, doubt will fill your mind
If you let it overwhelm you
Sit back relax and you may start to find
What makes you happy

When all you want is someone by your side
A trusted friend in whom you can confide
Do you then think of me?
Because I’m not the enemy

And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
