My heart is clumsy, heavy, and shy It stumble through love, ensure of the sky. I reach for the stars, but my fingers fall. I dream of the moon, yet I loose it all. Each beat is a whisper, a delicate sound, But I drop every word before it's found, It longs for the light, yet stumbles in dark, A dance without rhythm, a miss in the spark. The weight of my heart, it drags on the floor, A longing for love, but it's never quite sure it alteres, it quivers, with hope and with fear, A heart full of love that can never quite steer. And yet, through the weight, it still dares to beat, With every misstep, it rises, repeat for even a clumsy heart, through it may fall And still dreams of a love that can heal it all.

The weight of a clumsy heart
My heart is clumsy, heavy, and shy It stumble through love, ensure of the sky. I reach for the stars, but my fingers fall. I dream of the moon, yet I loose it all. Each beat is a whisper, a delicate sound, But I drop every word before it's found, It longs for the light, yet stumbles in dark, A dance without rhythm, a miss in the spark. The weight of my heart, it drags on the floor, A longing for love, but it's never quite sure it alteres, it quivers, with hope and with fear, A heart full of love that can never quite steer. And yet, through the weight, it still dares to beat, With every misstep, it rises, repeat for even a clumsy heart, through it may fall And still dreams of a love that can heal it all.
