Untying

If you untie my heart
 can I unravel lost in your arms
If you try to know me
 can I become who you want me to be
Maybe I am a little complicated
 for a world that wants simple and fast
Maybe I could be persuaded
 for a night that begins with your kiss
Why do you love me
 I'm not a real prize
Why do you untie me
 I'm going to run away and fly
I'm grounded for reasons
 I want nobody to know
I'm bounded by memory
 I can't let go, chains of doubt, chains of doubt
Untying my heart, untying my soul
 Your love builds me up
  Your kindness isn't pity
   You hold me, you hold me
    Hold on, hold strong
     I don't deserve your love
     I don't deserve sweet you
Untying my fears, releasing my love
Freeing me to be captured by sweet you
