Jumping Through Hoops
I jump through hoops for my girl
She's so hard to love and cherish
Can’t seem to find the precious words
To make her see I love her so
I touch her gently ever careful
She thrust me away every time
What can I say to make it right?
To make her see our love is tight
I pray before I speak to her
Hoping to help her see I'm right
What she thinks is not the truth
I only want the best for her
I show her sympathy mix with love
She takes offense and runs away
The pain she feels is much too deep
She’s hard to appease when feeling hurt
I see her heart breaking down
From the pressures of her stress
I see her dying here before me
She binds my hands behind my back
She is so beautiful, soft, and sweet
I wish she knew the true I share
Behind those eyes, I see she's broken
Nothing I do can fix her now
I jump through hoops to calm her heart
Getting burned by her fire
In the end I test the waters, and
Love was sweet just like always
