Ooh, ooh Next to you, wide awake With all the things I'll never say I'm tryin' to, but I can't go there Parts of me that I hate Keep my heart locked in this cage Dead-end street goin' nowhere And I wanna believe When you say you'll never leave But what if history repeats? All I want is to be loved But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again What if I try to open up And you don't like what's underneath my skin? I can see it in your eyes You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent Baby, you don't know the closer that we get I'm scared to death If you know me more, you'll love me less Wear this smile like a mask Hopin' that you'll never ask What's underneath, don't wanna show you I still got cuts from my past I'm barefoot on this shattered glass And if I slip, would you still love who I really am? 'Cause I wanna believe When you say you'll never leave But what if history repeats? All I want is to be loved But I'm afraid of bein' hurt again What if I try to open up And you don't like what's underneath my skin? I can see it in your eyes You're lookin' at me like I'm heaven-sent Baby, you don't know the closer that we get I'm scared to death If you know me more, you'll love me less (ooh) You'll love me less (ooh) Would you love me less? (Ooh) Baby, I've been here before I know the way it always ends If you know me more, you'll love me less
