You must think I'm an immature girl with no idea of how love should be.
You probably wonder why such a disillusioned girl is standing in the doorway
with big green eyes full of tears... crying and wishing for another to know.
Why, in this world of broken dreams and sleepless nights, can you
believe that this girl so full of hope and integrity knows so little...
And yet you know she could grip the world by its wonder and live a lot better than you.
I'm standing here in this doorway with my head filled with dreams and aspirations
so that I may someday follow them to where my heart leads.
And I know more so than you that love is the key to the world.
And Love is the only way to unlock the mysteries and discover the treasures
that could be witheld from the most naked of souls.
