Tender - Outside lyrics

[Chorus] Hold on a minute I don't want to go outside I don't want to face my pride There's a limit to how long I can wait To how long I can take before I start to show How close I am to letting go of myself [Verse 1] I've been waiting so, so long But here we are now Here we are now I will judge myself Guilty of loving you too much I will smother you just to feel your touch I will offer you my whole self, not just my best [Verse 2] You can take me as I come or discard me like the rest Take me by the hand And show me to the world I am nothing but a man You are nothing but a girl [Pre-Chorus] Oh, how long can I take before I start to show How close I am to letting go of myself [Chorus] Hold on a minute I don't want to go outside I don't want to face my pride There's a limit to how long I can wait To how long I can take before I start to show How close I am to letting go of myself
