My Confession
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The things I've kept inside
Secrets I've tried to hide from you
You never suspected
Even carefully contained
I've respectfully restrained the truth
I can't deny it anymore
I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows
And it shows
Oh, I have wanted you for so long
And now all my strength is gone
I can't keep this feeling so locked up in my soul
So this is my confession
My heart without the skies
Undressed and open wide to you
I've abondoned the protection
That is quietly concealed
All that I review to you
But now I can't hide it anymore
I can't deny it anymore
I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows
And it shows
Oh, I have wanted you for so long
And now all my strength is gone
I can't keep this feeling so locked up in my soul
So this is my confession
Whatever your reaction
I will feelessly
Without reservation
Tell you honestly
But now I can't hide it anymore
I can't deny it anymore
I'm in love with you and I don't care who knows
So this is my confession
So this is my confession
So this is my confession
