Hard Part - David Wilcox

I see the look that's in you eye
That says I must keep most of me inside
'Cause you'd never love me
If I didn't hide the secrets of my heart

Well, I'm not here for the surface stuff
I just get bored with all that fluff
So show me the edges even if it's rough
And let the real love start

You think your shame and deep disgrace
Is more than I can bear
But you could go to your darkest place
And I will meet you there

'Cause I'm strong enough to take it
And I know what you've been through
You've got a whole heart
Give me the hard part, I can love that too

You look at me with some surprise
And I see the doubt that's in your eyes
Like something deep inside you cries
With a hunger to be known

Like a tiger born in a city zoo
There's been no place for what's inside of you
You try to live like the others do
But it leaves you so alone

I know you think that the heat of your pain
Is more than I can stand
Burn it all in one big flame
And I will hold it in my hand

'Cause I'm strong enough to take it
And I know what you've been through
You've got a whole heart
Give me the hard part, I can love that too

Now your eyes well up with tears
As desire mixes with your fears
After so many wounded years
Can you long for what you've missed?

You want a cool breeze to dance with your flame
And a long-lost lover who knows your true name
And a secret garden beyond this shame
And it all comes down to this

You think your drowning hope
Will die in a sea without a shore
But I can drink that ocean dry
And still come back for more

I'm strong enough to take it
And I know what you've been through
You've got a whole heart
Give me the hard part, I can love that too

You've got a whole heart
Give me the hard part, I can love that too
Love you
