I can´t even look at you.
You make fun of me for cryin´.
Well, I guess I do a lot these days,
But I´m riskin´ everything I have
To love you--to be with you.
I open myself up and tell you
All my deepest secrets,
And I wonder if you ever hear them.

´Cause I really love you,
And now I even like you
When you pull away from me,
That´s a place I´d rather not be.

So please forgive me, you beautiful man.
I know the good days
Were the best we ever had.
And when the dark side calls,
And you bring in the cold,
Baby, that´s just the winter
Where I can´t go.

So you come to me,
And you ask me to hold you.
And I did-- I shed every layer
Of my skin-- I let you in.
I saw beauty in the demons
And adventure in the stars.
And I let my imagination run way too far.

And I really love you,
But I can´t even reach you.
Infatuated with your face,
And drift off to that silent place..

So please forgive me, you beautiful man.
I know the good days
Were the best we ever had.
And when the dark side calls,
And you bring in the cold,
Baby, that´s just the winter
Where I can´t go.

[Instrumental Break]

So you know how it is:
Things are perfect today.
Do our memories decieve us?
Or maybe we look the other way.
Oh, what´s happenin´ to me?
I´m supposed to be independent.
What´s happenin´ to me?
I said I would never settle in.

And I really love you,
And I can´t even reach you.
Well, maybe we´re not meant to be
´Cause I can´t lose myself, you see...

So please forgive me, you beautiful man.
I know the good days
Were the best we ever had.
Will you forgive me, you beautiful man?
I know it´s not exactly what you had planned
And when the dark side calls,
And you bring in the cold,
Baby, that´s just the winter [x7]
I can´t go!
Baby, that´s just the winter... [to end]
