Lyrics
DEAR HEART
Dear Heart:
I've been missing you. I'm sorry, I let it all fall through. Dear
heart, I know we had the chance. My words got in the way of this
romance. I got scared thinking (that) you were too weak and broken. All
my fears cost you new love, true love. Dear heart.
Dear heart, I was guarding you from love gone bad, love not true.
Dear heart, I should have trusted you. I thought I knew what was good for
you. I thought I knew. I was too proud to show you, that I was just as
lonely. All my pride cost you new love, true love.
How many dreams I've cost you. How many times I've lost you. When will I listen to my heart. My dear heart.
Dear heart, what can I do. I promise to give in to you. Dear heart,
I will close my eyes. Let love catch me by surprise. You will be my eyes.
