Why am I so insecure?
Is it because of my heart's previous encounters?
That one that tore it, made it ragged around the edges?
But you came and swept up the bits and pieces,
Whipped out your glue gun and pieced me back together again.
I want with all my soul to be able to give you my entire heart,
But my dear I don't know if you recovered all the pieces.
It still amazes me,
Whenever you hug me, hold me,
Kiss me, touch me, tell me you love me.
So why am I still so insecure?
I'd say you're my drug,
But that reminds me of the him of yester-year.
I'd write you sappy love words,
But it reminds me too.
But what I want most is you,
So much, I'm so scared of losing you.
If I seem standoffish,
I'm just trying to protect my heart.
I can't seem to muster up the courage,
To give my heart over to another again.
Even though I know,
Or at least hope,
You'd not even think of hurting it.
I'm insecure, and I might even be self-sabotaging the best thing out there.
God help me.
