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
chorus:
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
chorus
leave the world outside
chorus
