If I tell you the truth

If I tell you the truth...
My soul aches at your hurt face,
do you promise not to be mad?
As I lay in your lap crying,
do you promise to still be glad?
Stroke my hair and calm my fears,
do you promise to help me along?
I hold your hand and kiss your cheek,
do you promise not to say I’m wrong?
You shout and fight my apology,
do you promise to look me in the eye?
Collapsed in your arms I fall asleep,
do you promise to love me until I die?
You’re my angel in disguise;
If I tell you the truth...
Once bright eyes now scrutinize ,
will you still come home?
You know of the pain I feel,
will you not leave me alone?
I want to say “I’m Sorry”,
will you trust me again?
I fear our love will forever change,
will you always be my friend?
If only I didn’t break your heart,
will you stand by my side?
I hope you won’t abandon me,
will you stay on for the ride?
my conscience twists with guilt;
If I tell you the truth...
I dream of your soft touch,
Would you walk away?
My life is empty without your warmth,
Would you choose to stay?
If I tell you the truth...
