When we lift the covers from our feelings  We expose our insecure spots  Trust is just as rare as devotion  Forgive us our cynical thoughts  If we need too much attention  Not content with being cool  We must throw ourselves wide open  And start acting like a fool  If we need too much approval  Then the cuts can seem too cruel    [Chorus:]  Right to the heart of the matter  Right to the beautiful part  Illusions are painfully shattered  Right where discovery starts  In the secret wells of emotion  Buried deep in our hearts    It's true that love can change us  But never quite enough  Sometimes we are too tender  Sometimes we're too tough  If we get too much attention  It gets hard to overrule  So often fragile power turns  To scorn and ridicule  Sometimes our big splashes  Are just ripples in the pool    [Chorus]    Feelings run high
