If there was no such thing as fear
Would I tell you I love you
Cos y'know I'm sitting here
And my heart's gonna explode
And if there was no such thing as hurt
Would I run towards you
Cos y'know I so much want to hold you
And never let go

I've gotta ask myself these questions
Cos I don't want to make mistakes
And I need to find the answers
So when I take you in my arms
I know you'll kiss me

If there was no such thing as rejection
Would I show you my scars
Cos y'know I want you to look right here
And see them as they are
And if there was no such thing as pretence
Would you teach me who you are
Cos y'know there's no perfection
And I'm not looking to dream

I've gotta ask myself these questions
Cos I don't want to make mistakes
And I need to find the answers
So when I take you in my arms
I know you'll kiss me

Can we be side by side
With nothing to hide
No stories to tell
Living outside hell
Can we spend some time
Holding hands, feeling fine
Knowing we both believe in this feeling

I've gotta ask myself these questions
Cos I don't want to make mistakes
And I need to find the answers
So when I take you in my arms
I've gotta ask myself these questions
Cos I'm not looking for distraction
And when I find the answers
We can learn something beautiful
And when you take me in your arms
I know I'll kiss you
