THE RISK

THE RISK

I risk to tell the world who I am
So they can tell me I'm not a man
I risk to say I still believe in love
Even though no one else does
I risk to open myself to people
Even though so many are evil
I risk to say that I really do care
Even though others don't dare
I risk to say it's not all about sex
Even if I end up alone until death
I risk to be myself, even if it's strange
But the world tells me that I should change
I risk and dare to open my heart
Even though I know it will be torn apart
I risk it all, even though I always lose
I have to risk it, there's nothing else I can do
