At first glance, petrified Our love was unknown Wounds yet to be, cut open and sewn
Alive were my fears as you walked up to me We met every day, only our eyes came to speak
Tongue tied by beauty Speechless by grace Of a young love that truly knew me only by face
Silent and awkward Stumbled stutters of sound We're the first words I spoke Falling out of my mouth
So quickly she stopped me With a confident sway She stepped in closer and to me she did say,
"Lend me your love and I'll take it away, the pain of your life it will dry and decay. Tell me the stories you've kept all this time, the secrets that heavily weigh on your mind. But never mistake me, I'm not staying for long. One day, my darling, you will write me a song. The title may be ever lonely and dark, but I'd rather you call it "The Weight Of My Heart"
