(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Don`t want to need the way I need you
Don`t want to feel like this
Holding back all the words but not the kiss
For the moment my heart begins to murmur
The moment of truth arrives
And I know you`ll shake your head and say goodbye
I know the price of this to me
I`ll light the candle that shines on you
I`ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
Don`t want to fear the way I fear you`ll
Hurt me because you can
I never believed I`d crave that kind of man
I`ve seen the trail of hearts you`ve broken
I`ve seen the traps you lay
And if I had the strengh I`d run without delay
I know the price of this to me
I`ll light the candle that shines on you
I`ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
It`s dark and getting colder and I`m the beholder
And you`re all I long to see
Don`t want to love the way I love you...
I know the price of this to me
I`ll light the candle that shines on you
I`ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
I know the price of this to me
I`ll light the candle that shines on you
I`ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
