Stiletto, Act I: The Wanting (Arr. for Voice, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums and Strings by R. Mounsey)

Why are the simplest words the hardest ones to whisper?

How do I dare to let my deepest feelings show?

When the heart is aching

One chance worth taking

Is like dangling from a ledge

Waiting to let go.

Loves longing won't deny the wanting

Can't defy the wanting once the soul's set afire

Loves longing driven by the wanting

Wanting to be loved by some I so desire

How does only half a man embrace the ideal woman?

This will never feel complete.

I can love forever, but I'll never father children

How can love like that sound sweet?

I long to hold you, feel you enfold you

Share with you my heart and show what you inspire.

Loves longing won't deny the wanting

Can't defy the wanting once the soul's set afire

Loves longing driven by the wanting

Wanting to be loved by some I so desire

Why are the simplest words the hardest ones to whisper?

How do I dare to let my deepest feelings show?
