Too close to love
 
Everything I'm not
That I don't want to be
All that's buried deep within
Would you care to see
My anger and my hatred
Self-afflicted agony
If you saw my other half
Would you still love me

You may think the answer's easy
A simple yes, I know
If that wretched darker side
Of me were to show
If you were to recieve it
And I did hurt you so
Even if you forgave me
I could never let it go

You've brought everything out of me
That I know is good
Everything you've given
Do I feel as I should
Knowing that you love me
I've done things not thought I could
But I'm so afraid to hurt you dear
And I know I would
