To Her New Lover

She'll dance like there's no tomorrow She'll sing like there's no today One smile from her You'll watch your past fade away Cause she doesn't need to be loved Her spirit was independent from the start But she does need to be supported Someone to break down the walls around her heart Some days she'll be the ray of sunshine You always need on a cloudy day Other days she'll be the storm itself She'll scream or lock herself away When she does that remember to check on her For she burns so bright she might burn out But don't push her until she finds her peace again Or she might throw paint at you and shout She's a treasure chest full of secrets You'll unlock more of her every day The hardest thing is to gain her trust You have to show her you're going to stay Love her like you're her anchor She goes through a storm everyday you see Inspire her like you're her wings All she wanted in life was to feel free Most of all when the sun sets And she tells you she's ready to sleep Don't believe her for a second That's when her demons come out from the deep You see, she guards her heart Like she guards her soul She can't express love Even if it makes her whole Hold her close And hold her steady One step at a time Until she's ready She's been broken too many times I write this cause I'm aware I'm one of the ones who built her up Just to take away her flare
