Lay it out

I don't know

The words to tell you

What's in my heart

What's going on in my head

Well

Maybe that's a lie

Maybe I do know

Maybe the truth is that

I'm to scared to lay it all out

I don't know how to tell you

The last person who lit up my life

The way you do each time you smile

Who could make me tremble

The way you do

With even the most innocent touch

Who made my knees so weak

It took every ounce of will to stay upright

With nothing but a look

Well

She played the part well

But when she realized

That to me it was more than a game

She took every part of that secret place

Inside my head

Inside my heart

And she turned the soil with ash and salt

She took the fire that burned in me for her

And with it laid waste to my soul

It took a long time to put out the flames

And even longer to learn how to heal

To let free enough tears

To wash away the salt

The pain of the stinging wounds

Was nearly more than my spirit's might

But I got through it

I put up walls around this part of me

So high and so thick

Most never know it's there

But when that wall comes crashing away

And I'm able to take shelter in love

There's nearly nothing I wouldn't do

For the one who calls me Hers

Well

If we're being honest

I'd do anything for you.

I know you'd never cause me harm

I know you'd do everything you could

To keep me from being in pain

For you

Or at all

Which only makes me more willing

That's the most beautiful part

Besides your eyes that is

Although

Since I'm being honest

I'm not even sure what color they are

Because every time our eyes meet

My brain ceases all non vital function

Sometimes I even forget to breathe

And you don't see it

You don't see why

You've gone so long

Being everybody's rock

You don't know

How to let yourself be cared for

But you deserve it

Everything I can give you

And so so much more

Anything you want of me

Is yours

All you have you do is ask

I'll meet you at your comfort

Wherever the boundary lays

I hate getting my ears wet

A scar left of my childhood

But for you I'd dive to any depth

Or we can have a never ending

Splash fight

In the wading pool like grown up little kids

Show me the line in the sand

Lay it out in front of me

So I know where I stand

I don't dare to let myself hope

That I'll ever get a chance

To kiss your perfect lips

Or hold you in my arms all night

I'm terrified that if you read this

All our fun would end

I'm afraid you'd pull away from me

Thinking you were saving me pain

But I treasure every second

No matter how it spends

I truly feel it's safe to say

I'm the happiest I've ever been

No matter how much

I may long to be your lover

You'll never find a more loyal friend
I only aim to be respectful
So when it seems like I'm holding back
I'm waiting for you to show me the line
