I can?t be what you expect of me
But I?m trying every day with all I do
And do not say
Here on the edge of the abyss
Knowing everything in my whole life has lead to this
And so I pull inside myself
Close the walls put up my guard
I?ve practised every single day for this
So why is it so hard

?Cause I can?t show you
I?m not as cold as I seem
There are things you cannot know
And it?s dangerous to dream

I know I?ll never see that sunny day
When this trial is finally through
And it could just be me and you
I can?t dwell on what we?ve lost
And our secrecy and silence comes at such a cost

I wish I could tell the truth
Show you who?s behind the door
I wish you knew what all this pantomime
And pageantry was for

I have to be so cautious
And you?re so extreme
We?re different, you and I
And it?s dangerous to dream

It?s dangerous to wish
I could make choices of my own
Dangerous to even have that thought

I?m dangerous just standing here
For everyone to see
If I let go of rules
Who knows how dangerous I?d be?

Why right now would I make this mistake?
How could I let my concentration break?
(spoken)
Conceal... Don't feel...
Conceal... Don't feel...
Conceal... Don't feel...
 	 
I can?t believe that I?m standing here
Did I really make it through?
(spoken)
Father, I did it!
(sung)
Now, what do I do?

I can?t stop smiling, how strange
Does this mean that things are different?
Could they really change?

And could I open up the door
And finally see you, face to face
I guess the queen can change the rules
But not the reasons they?re in place

I can?t be what you expect of me
And I?m not what I seem
But I would love to know you
Is it dangerous to dream?
