***

And you are across the table from me, your face lit up by candle light.
And you offer me your open paw, I take your hand it feels right.

And then I tell some dumb joke, and you smile wide.
But I can't help but think it's the one you keep for when you're just being polite.

Now are we getting below the surface?
Or are we just moving in the night?
Or am I holding out for a little more than I have a right to?

Just show me your ugly heart,
I'm not afraid of who you are.
I'm not afraid of your face when you've been crying.
Show me your tired soul.
I'm not afraid to know.
I'm not afraid of who you might be.
I'm only afraid of what you're not telling me.

Now I've made the mistake before, confusing kindness for love.
But if I could just stay inside your palm, well, could that be enough?

And are we getting below the surface?
Or are we just sweating in the night?
Or am I holding out for a little bit more than I have a right to?

Just show me your ugly heart.
I'm not afraid of who you are.
I'm not afraid of your face when you've been crying.
Show me your tired soul.
I'm not afraid to know.
I'm not afraid of who you might be.
I'm only afraid of what you're not telling me.

I'm only afraid of what you're not telling me.
