How can you say you love me
If you don't even know me?
There's more than meets the eye
And I hide it,
Scared it'll disturb you.
Afraid to lose you.
But you deserve something
I cannot give to you.

~~~

I search for love in the wrong places.
Coming up short with a broken heart
And less hope.
But I brush it off and hold my head up,
Looking up at the sky for an answer
I know I will never get.
The wind speaks in a language
I do not understand
And it howls for me to listen carefully.
Those words were never meant for the mind,
But rather for the heart to hear.

But mine was crying;
Dying for love.
Too desperate to be picky,
Too broken to make the right choice,
Yet too afraid to stay.
