So I give my heart to you

though I can't be sure

you won't take it and break it

and hurt me

I've been hurt so many times before

We can play those games of love

like other people do

but that's not me or you

it's just everyone else

is all dreams and I want something new

And there are no guarantees

that can set your heart at ease

'cause no one ever knows

how the feeling comes and goes

when you're sure it's so strong

it can never go wrong

it'll always go on and

then suddenly it goes

Only brave hearts live their love

weak hearts hide in dreams

living lives in romance

leaving danger and chance

to the warriors of love

And there are no guarantees

that can set your heart at ease

'cause no one ever knows

how the feeling comes and goes

when you're sure it's so strong

it can never go wrong

it'll always go on and

then suddenly it's gone

So I give my heart to you

though I can't be sure

you won't take it and break it

and hurt me

I've been hurt so many times before
