[Verse 1]
Can I trust you?
Does your smile hide lies?
Can I jump in and close my eyes?
Can you tell me that you'll be here for all the little things?
Can I lay here in your arms?
[Chorus]
Can I love you?
Would it be alright?
Can I wait here when you say goodbye?
'Cause I've been hurt
Can I try to just believe
You'll never let me go?
[Verse 2]
Say you need me by your side
And I will hold your hand 'til the end of time
Say you'll listen when we fight
That you won't shut me out and walk away
Won't you tell me that you'll stay here so we can talk it out
Then you'll smile at me and hold me tight
[Chorus]
Can I love you?
Would it be alright?
Can I wait here when you say goodbye?
'Cause I've been hurt
But can I try to just believe
You'll never let me go
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm so through with all the pain
And the loneliness it brings
'Cause every time it's all the same
And I'm ready to give in
[Chorus]
So can I love you?
Would it be alright
Can I wait here when you say goodbye?
'Cause I've been hurt
But can I try to just believe
You'll never let me go
