We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show
So scared
We forget to say
All the words when
We need them most

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Sometimes people change
And sometimes
I don't know you
It runs by
We stumble through
Round and round
'Cause we know our

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Rough edges just take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding on
And I still want you
And I still want you

We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom).

In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
