It's been years but I'm still holding out hope,
As well as holding out my hand for you to take.
The warmth and comfort from another one is what I crave the most.
How can I love when I'm afraid?
Too afraid to be left alone again.
How can I love when I don't trust?
Too many people have shown me why I shouldn't trust.
I don't look like much but give a chance 'cos,
I may surprise you they call me a dark horse.
The warmth and comfort from another one is what I crave the most.
How can I love when I'm afraid?
Too afraid to be left alone again.
How can I love when I don't trust?
Too many people have shown me why I shouldn't trust. (x2)
