smuggle these words out of my head
in whispers meant for angel ears
and carry them off to heaven
wrapped up in my deepest fears

i am too smart to fall for this
she is not worth the chase
but i am made a fool by
every smile on her face

so i send a simple prayer
i know i should not pray
let her be the one for me
or take this hope away

lead her back into my life
make me who she wants to see
at least a mask and costume
someone i will never be

i want to make her happy
only God can make her mine
hope is hard to hide from
and love is hard to find
