I wish that I could hold your heart,
Cradle it gently in my hands,
But my arms just are not strong enough,
To hold what I don't understand,
My eyes have seen a lot of things,
And I thought I'd seen them all,
But the way your smile ignites my own,
Makes me think there's so much more.
There walls around this heart of mine,
Have stood collecting dust,
But it's as though you've found the gate,
That leads right to my trust,
I've never really liked my name,
But on your lips it sounds so sweet,
And your voice is my new favorite song,
That's forever on repeat,
But even though I feel all this,
I can never let you see,
Because your heart deserves a whole lot more,
Than s broken girl like me.
