I Can Never Let U Know

I wish that I could hold your heart 
cradle it gently in my hand 
but my arms just aren't 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 then your smile ignites my own.
makes me think there's so much more walls around this heart of mine,
it stood collecting dust but its as though you've found the gate,
that leads to my trust.
I've never liked my name, but on your lips it sounds so sweet.
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 
then this broken girl.
