Buck Naked Heart



    It must seem like a million miles away
    But that don't mean it is
    I sat and I thought, and I thought, of the things I could say
    And I just came up with this

    'Cause honesty is hard to handle
    Truth is harder than hell
    Is it love or flies to a candle
    As years go by it's hard to tell
    As years go by it's hard to tell

    You're actin' like it's nothing, baby
    But I don't think I can play that part
    When you have looked straight in the eyes
    Of my buck naked heart

    We were sometimes light so bright it hurt your eyes
    And everything, to the touch, feels burned and raw
    But folding back into the arms of a lie
    Can never change, no never change, those things we saw

    I can hardly stand to see you
    You're so careful what you say
    Do you think you're the only one
    Who ever gave something away

    You're actin' like it's nothing, baby
    But I don't think I can play that part
    When you have looked straight in the eyes
    Of my buck naked heart

    'Cause honesty is hard to handle
    Truth is harder than hell
    Is it love or flies to a candle
    As years go by it's hard to tell
    As years go by it's hard to tell
    Years go by, hard to tell, hard to tell

    You're actin' like it's nothing, baby
    But I don't think I can play that part
    When you have looked straight in the eyes
    Of my buck naked heart
