No Matter What Happens

Look at how she looks at me
 I can never look at her that way
 Full of all the feelings and the soft
 Unspoken words that lovers say
 In all the words, in all the books
 I wish there were a way to say
 What she's taught me isn't written anywhere
 And I'm supposed to be the one who's wise
 One thing is certain
 I can never be what she expects of me
 ♪
 I've wanted the shadows, I don't any more
 No matter what happens, I won't any more
 I've run from the sunlight, afraid it saw too much
 The moon had the one light
 I bathed in, I walked in, I held in my feelings
 And closed every door
 No matter what happens
 I can't any more
 There's someone who must hear
 The words I've never spoken
 Tonight if he were here
 My silence would be broken
 I need him to touch me
 To know the love that's in my heart
 The same heart that tells me
 To see myself, to free myself, to be myself at last
 For too many mornings, the curtains were drawn
 It's time they were opened to welcome the dawn
 A voice deep inside's getting stronger
 I can't keep it quiet any longer
 No matter what happens
 It can't be the same any more
 ♪
 I promise it won't be the same any more
