I Surrender
Bonnie St. Claire Lyrics

Pride, sad, splendid liar,
I have expressed a sense of arrogance and grandeur that belies my true sadness and deceit

Sworn enemy of love
I have long resisted love, seeing it as something to be avoided or even opposed

Kept my lips from saying Things I was thinking of.
Despite my true feelings, I have kept my thoughts and emotions hidden from you

But now my pride you've humbled, I've cast it to the winds, Broken, beaten, sick at heart My confession begins.
With your help, I have finally let go of my arrogance and am now confessing my true feelings to you, despite feeling defeated and heartbroken

We've played the game of stay away But it cost more that I can pay. Without you I can't make my way, I surrender, dear.
Our love has been a foolish game of avoidance and it has cost me dearly. Without you, I am lost and I surrender myself to you

I may seem proud, I may act gay, It's just a pose, I'm not that way, 'Cause deep down in my heart I say I surrender, dear.
Despite my appearances of pride and lightheartedness, it is just a facade. Deep down, I know that I must surrender myself to you

Little mean things we were doing Must have been part of the game, Lending a spice to the wooing, But I don't care who's to blame.
In our foolish game of love, we may have hurt one another with petty actions. However, I no longer care who was at fault because I only want to surrender myself to you

When stars appear and shadows fall, Why then you'll hear My poor heart call, To you my love, my life, my all I surrender, dear.
When the night comes and everything grows dark, you will hear my heart cry out to you. You are my love, my life, my everything, and I surrender myself to you completely
