[Verse 1]
When we lift the covers from our feelings, we expose our insecure spots
Trust is just as rare as devotion, forgive us our cynical thoughts
If we need too much attention, not content with being cool
We must throw ourselves wide open and start acting like a fool
If we need too much approval, then the cuts can seem too cruel

[Chorus]
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts

[Verse 2]
It's true that love can change us, but never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender, sometimes we're too tough
If we get too much attention, it gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns to scorn and ridicule
Sometimes our big splashes are just ripples in the pool

[Chorus]
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions, illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts
Feelings run high

Illusions, illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
Feelings run high
The feelings run high
