Love

There's something that I've yet to write about
I was so afraid to wake up
I'm holding onto something beautiful
Like I did when I kept my eyes shut

I have something perfect in my heart
That made me know we'd never part
And when you asked me to let go
All I could say was "No."

Something I carry in a stone
Lets me know I'm not alone
And though I know inside you're scared,
I'll always be there.

I have a mask on too
To hide from those who hurt
Hoping they'll never see through
Never trusting things I've heard

I took my mask off for one man
That one, and that one alone
In his arms I felt protected
And with him I felt at home

And so...

I have something perfect in my heart
That made me know we'd never part
And when you asked me to let go
All I could say was "No."

If only I had sought to see
Instead, my fear had blinded me
Thoughts of ruining everything
Held me by a string.

If I had only known
It would bother you
I wouldn't have done so
And it's the simple truth

Lost something I valued that day
Inside, I lost your trust
I understand it's hard to gain
And that it is a must.

But...

I have something perfect in my heart
That made me know we'd never part
And when you asked me to let go
All I could say was "No."

Now you've hidden behind your wall
Safe from dreams in which you fall
And though I know you've locked me out
I'll stand at the base and shout.

I remember a day
When things had gone for their worst ways
And as I ran fingers through your hair,
I told you I'd always be there

My promises I always keep
Don't know if I ever told you
But if you held a gun to me
I'd still try to hold you

Because..

I have something perfect in my heart
That made me know we'd never part
And when you asked me to let go
All I could say was "No."

I have a very patient soul
And I'm told I'm very strong
If I have to, I'll carry us both
Because I know that this is wrong.

I'll wait until oceans dry.
Incase you ever wonder why,
I tell you everytime I go
That I love you so.

It's in there still,
Though buried China deep,
I do know
You still love me.

You see...

I have something perfect in my heart
That made me know we'd never part
And when you asked me to let go
All I could say was "No."
