I blame myself,
For never telling you anything about me.
I was convinced that I was,
Saving you from the disappointment.
I believed I could solve it on my own,
So I could keep you out of harm,
But I guess I was wrong.
Here I stand,
With my hand on my heart.
I hope you realize.
That I'm slowly becoming a man,
And I'm ready to start.
You gave me the strength I needed to stand,
Hold onto my hand.
I think it's time for everyone to see,
How much you mean to me.
How much you mean to me.
Know that you were right,
I never meant to deny your words.
A novel is unfolding,
Allow the love to write it out, oh.
And when thoughts of you come to mind,
I remember back to the great times,
When all I ever held was you.
Here I stand,
With my hand on my heart.
I hope you realize.
That I'm slowly becoming a man,
And I'm ready to start.
You gave me the strength I needed to stand,
Hold onto my hand.
I think it's time for everyone to see,
How much you mean to me.
You get me to feel okay,
A smile from you makes my day.
I wanna live out my life with you,
Together we can make it through.
You understand exactly how I feel,
You make me seem so important and real.
It's all that I need.
It's all that I need.
Here I stand,
With my hand on my heart.
I hope you realize. (I hope you realize)
That I'm slowly becoming a man,
And I'm ready to start.
You gave me the strength I needed to stand,
Hold onto my hand.
I think it's time for everyone to see,
How much you mean to me.
How much you mean to me.
