lyrics

I fell in love with a dancer, but he could never see
I fell in love with an actor, but he looked up to me
I fell in love with a young man who could have taken away the hurt
I would have given him my kingdom, but I never had the nerve.

I'm afraid to be alone, afraid to be attached
The boy inside wants freedom but I still put on the masque
In my dreams the man beside me shares everything I own
In my life I just keep running, like a rolling stone

And even if I push you away
Hold me in your heart
And understand I'm doing the best I can

Well I made a few mistake, it's easy to admit
I don't want to play the villain, but I really have to quit
I'll love you 'till forever, 'till it all melts away
And if you still are willin', we'll try again someday
