Why don't you take off the mask you've been wearing for life?
If I ask, for your hand would you flinch from my grasp?
Would you risk it all again?
When you breathe, do you question your heart?
As it heaves under weight you can't seem to believe
Could you even pretend?
You could be anyone
But you are not anyone
If you would just let me lead
I swear you won't be deceived
'Cause I know what it's to be alone
I've been wondering, what it's like to be a queen with no king
Was the knife so sharp it don't sting?
But you can't stop bleeding
I'll be here, if you ask I can temper your fear
Ride the storm you keep living in
You deserved to be loved, my dear
You could be anyone
But you are not anyone
If you would just let me lead
I swear you won't be deceived
'Cause I know what it's to be alone
'Cause you could be anyone
But I want you just as you are
And I could be anyone
I swear there won't be no fear
I'd yield and just let you lead
If you would love all of me
'Cause we know what it's like to be alone
