Take these words they come out wrong
  They won't express this old emotional thing
  If you could see inside my mind
  You'd know the love and feel this passionate thing
  
  You stepped into my locked out world
  I felt your touch on my shoulder
  You turned my mind right over
  Like a child before it learns to speak
  I turn to stone, I turn to stone
  
  Heaven give me words to tell you
  How I am feeling
  What I am needing
  Heaven let this message reach you
  This desperation
  Will stop my heart from beating
  
  I won't be giving in
  I'll die if I don't tell you just how I feel
  I'll make you truly understand
  What kind of man could live with feelings
  Of steel
  I used to be so self contained
  When I thought about love
  A conversation heart to heart
  I must confess this old emotional thing
  
  Before you think that I'm a fool
  There's a flame that burns here
  Here's a feeling that's so rare
  It's my nightmare when I go to speak
  I turn to stone, I turn to stone
  
  Heaven give me words to tell you
  How I am feeling
  What I am needing
  Heaven let this message reach you
  This desperation
  Will stop my heart from beating
  Heaven give me words
  Heaven give pride
  Heaven let this message reach you
  
  You've seen a heart worn on my sleeve
  I must express this old emotional thing
  Please be a witness to my dreams
  Or I'll wake up and say now
  Can this be real?
  Before you think that I'm a fool
  There's a flame that burns here
  Here's a feeling that's so rare
  It's my nightmare when I go to speak
  I turn to stone, I turn to stone
  
  Heaven give me words to tell you
  How I am feeling
  What I am needing
  Heaven let this message reach you
  This desperation
  Will stop my heart from beating
  
  Heaven give me words to tell you
  How I am feeling
  What I am needing
  Heaven let this message reach you
  This desperation
  Will stop my heart from beating
  
  Heaven give me words
  Heaven give pride
  Heaven let this message reach you
