When we lift the covers from our feelings

We expose our insecure spots

Trust is just as rare as devotion

Forgive us our cynical thoughts

If we need too much attention

Not content with being cool We must throw ourselves wide open

And start acting like a fool

If we need too much approval

Then the cuts can seem too cruel Right to the heart of the matter

Right to the beautiful part

Illusions are painfully shattered

Right where discovery starts

In the secret wells of emotion

Buried deep in our hearts It's true that love can change us

But never quite enough

Sometimes we are too tender

Sometimes we're too tough

If we get too much attention

It gets hard to overrule So often fragile power turns

To scorn and ridicule

Sometimes our big splashes

Are just ripples in the pool Right to the heart of the matter

Right to the beautiful part

Illusions, illusions are painfully shattered

Right where discovery starts

In the secret wells of emotion

Buried deep in our hearts Right to the heart of the matter

Right to the beautiful part

Illusions are painfully shattered

Right where discovery starts

In the secret wells of emotion

Buried deep in our hearts Feelings run high

Illusions, illusions are painfully shattered

Right where discovery starts

Feelings run high

The feelings run high
