(ooh) True love feels far away
I gave my heart where the room felt safe
Smiles in the dark,
but they never stayed
Every sweet word turned thin by dawn
I held on longer when the truth was gone
Everybody wants the shine on sight
Nobody stays when it gets real at night I keep my faith,
but it wears so thin How do I trust when I let
nobody in I'm tired of hearts that just pass through
I need a love that can tell the truth
Something steady, something I can hold
Why is true love so hard to find
I give my all and lose my mind I want a hand
that won't let go
A real one when the cold winds blow
Why is true love so hard to see
Why does it run when it gets to me I'm still here
with an open heart
Looking for something that won't fall apart I learned the signs from
a restless kiss The kind that takes but it never gives They
love the glow, not the scars beneath They want the warm,
not the work with me So I
move slow when the feeling starts Protecting every little piece of my
heart Still I believe there's a soul somewhere Strong enough to stay
and soft enough to care Maybe love takes time Maybe mine got
lost on the long way here
But I won't fake peace Just to keep somebody near
Why is true love so hard to find I give my all
and lose my mind I want a hand that won't let go
A real one when the cold winds blow
Why is true love so hard to see
Why does it run when it gets to me
I'm still here with an open heart
Looking for something that won't fall apart
Still looking for a love that's true (ooh)
