I could not breathe when you came into the room
I could not stop my hands from shaking
I tried to speak but indecision stole my words
and I am breaking down

in all these years I have never touched your face
your mouth has only told me stories
we've shared our lives but we have never shared a taste
of what we have before us now

leave the world outside
and lay your head upon my shoulder
we won't have this moment twice
leave your fear behind
come lay yourself upon my altar
it's a holy sacrifice
leave the world outside


you know I've always kept emotion in its place
but I can't stop my heart from breaking
until this moment we had nothing to erase
but what a sweet confession now
what a sweet confession now


leave the world outside
