Baby, please try to forgive me Stay here don't put out the glow Hold me now don't bother If every minute it makes me weaker You can save me from the man that I've become oh yeah Looking back on the things I've done I was trying to be someone Played my part, kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart Sadness is beautiful Loneliness is tragical So help me I can't win this war oh no Touch me now don't bother If every second it makes me weaker You can save me from the man I've become Looking back on the things I've done I was trying to be someone Played my part, kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart I'm here with my confession Got nothing to hide no more I don't know where to start But to show you the shape of my heart I'm looking back on things I've done I never want to play the same old part Keep you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart Looking back on the things I've done I was trying to be someone (trying to be someone) Played my part, kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart (Now let me show you the true shape of my heart) Looking back on the things I've done I was trying to be someone Played my part, kept you in the dark Now let me show you the shape of my heart Show you the shape of my heart
