Shadows closin' in on me 
But through the darkness I can see 
Your face is harder than stone 
I wish I may, I wish I might 
Turn this darkness into light 
I'm blind and yet I see, I love you 

But I'm a man, I must be strong 
I've let these feelings tear me apart for far too long 
But in my darkest hour of need 
In my darkest hour of need 

Will I ever love again 
Or will it always be pretend 
It's my heart that needs to know 
What can it be, that you and I 
Can't give it one more try 
But I know that that won't be, and I love you 

But I'm a man, I must be strong 
I've let these feelings tear me apart for far too long 
And in my darkest hour of need 
In my darkest hour of need
