Open Hearted
I felt myself growing deeper attached to you and you said you felt the same
The truth is I think I’ve started falling for you and began losing sleep
See thats when things always turn the other way and ends bad for me
I’m conflicted to the highest degree.
I want you to be happy and do whats best for you
But at the same time Ive waited so long to find someone like you
I don’t want to wait but I know its the only way to make things work
And I want that so badly for us.
I know you don’t want to hurt me and no matter what you do you may
But I swear I can take it so don’t cry for me my darling
Just promise you’ll do what you have to do to be ok
In that alone I’ll find comfort.
In truth you’ve already done so much for me you can’t see
I truly never thought I could possibly feel this way again
But you gave me hope in that even if its so short lived
You’re an angel in my eyes.
I will hold myself together like I’ve struggled to in the past
Even if it hurts so bad I’ll never let you see the scars it causes
You deserve that at least; to feel you aren’t to blame
And I’ll show you my patience.
You know I won’t lie to you and I won’t deny that it hurts
But even through the pain I care more for your peace
Take care of yourself and don’t worry about me I’ll do the same
Because for you I feel only love.
You are kind not harmful
Sweet not evil
Hurt but not to blame
You are amazing in every way.
And I love you all the same.
