It's a mix of fear and desire
I'm applauding your courage for calling me
I thought I was just feeding
A madness in my head
But when I heard your voice, I felt relieved
So much love kept inside, all this time
We were just holding on for no reason
Because of someone else
We'll only know if it happens
And when I kissed you
It was better than I imagined
If I had known, I would have done it sooner
Deep down, we’ve always been good lovers
And when I kissed you
It was better than I imagined
If I had known, I would have done it earlier
Deep down, we've always been good lovers
Deep down, we've always been good lovers
It’s the end of that silly fear
So much love kept inside, all this time
We were just holding on for no reason
Because of someone else
We can only know if it happens
And when I kissed you
It was better than I imagined
If I had known, I would have done it sooner
Deep down, we’ve always been good lovers
And when I kissed you
It was better than I imagined
If I had known, I would have done it earlier
Deep down, we've always been good lovers
Deep down, we've always been good lovers
It’s the end of that silly fear
It’s the end of that silly fear
