Lyrics

Everything But Love

I want to know you my love
I want to get so near
I want to show you my love
To me it is so clear
But somehow I'm always stopped by my pride
Or prevented by my fear
And no matter what I do,
I just cannot break through

And we are both like birds with broken wings
Or children who've been given everything but love
Children who have been let down
Like two birds on the ground
With the hope that they will fly
With the promise of the sky
In too much pain and too much fear to try

You want to give me your trust
You want to let your guard down
You know that you must
But your fear has you bound

You feel so alone
Even when I am around
And no matter what you do,
You just cannot break through

Chorus

We want to open our hearts
We want to be best (of) friends
Not to know where one starts
And the other one ends
We want to share our very souls
But we just can't seem to realize these goals
(And) no matter what we do,
We just cannot break through

And we are both like birds with broken wings
Or children who've been given everything but love
Everything but love
Chidren who have been let down
Like two birds on the ground
With the hope that they will fly
With the promise of the sky
In too much pain and too much fear to try

Repeat chorus
