It Still Takes Time

Mirror my life right back to me

I wanna know what I’m not seeing

Override my disbelief

I want to find what I am needing

Reflect Your light into my eyes

I wanna see if I’ll be blinded

Overcome my misery

I want to feel when I’m reminded

Everything is good and everything will be alright

For love grows the way it should, but it still takes time

Hold my hand closer to the fire

I wanna feel the flame blazing hot

Overstate my desire

I want to see just what I forgot

Touch my heart over concealed scars

I wanna find where I’ve lost feeling

Overrun my memory

I want to know as I am healing

Everything is good and everything will be alright

For love grows the way it should, but it still takes time

I want my love to be familiar

I don’t want to lose control

If love fades to a distant glimmer

Loneliness may swallow me whole

I need everything to be okay and everything to be alright

For love to grow the way it should, but it still takes time

You Love Me Like This

Anytime you have a need just ask me

I’ll provide for you the best I can

When you’re feeling weak, reach out to me

I’ll be here for you to hold your hand

Anytime you’re lost or in trouble

Just call out to me and I’ll be there

When you’re feeling buried in the rubble

I’ll dive in to rescue you from fear

If I can love my child this way

How much more does Your love convey

You love me like that, You love me more

Than I can conceive, is even possible

All the love in my heart

I can bear to possess

I would give up my life for

You love me like this

Anytime I have a need, I ask You

And You provide for me what I cannot

Anytime I’m weak, I reach out to You

And You remind me of what I forgot

If I can love my child this way

How much more does Your love convey

You love me like that, You love me more

Than I can conceive, is even possible

All the love in my heart

I can bear to possess

I would give up my life for

You love me like this

It Was You

I’m not alone. I don’t feel lonely. I don’t need anyone anyhow or anything else. I’m not afraid. I don’t feel angry. I don’t need helping or healing as long as I can lie to myself.

I turned to the arms of a complete stranger. I don’t need to know her birthday, family, or even her name. I’m not alarmed. I’m not in danger. I don’t need to rectify, apologize as long as I have someone to blame.

And since it was you who turned my heart around, blew out the flame, and stomped me down. It’s you who needs to find your way out of the dark. It was you who bled emotions dry, caused innocence to go awry. So it’s you who needs something to do with what’s left of my heart.

I can drink myself senseless every night. I can blow off steam with one good fight. I don’t need any resemblance of your love. I can tell you off the way it is. I don’t need more of this business. For to lose my heart once was enough.
