You make me feel vulnerable
Don’t know if I can trust myself with you
But I want to be there for you
So I will bring down my guard
Just hope you don’t break me from within

We’re both alone and we need someone
Life is not certain and I may not be for you
But I need to put myself out there for you

Feelings are not always well defined
More often their blurry and hard to find
But maybe with you they will become clear

The world is waiting for me to fight
And I need someone to help me try
Maybe you can help me through it

If life takes us different ways
It’s quite alright
But I can’t live with myself
If I don’t try this once with you

My heart is guarded by politics of the mind
My feelings struggle with rational thoughts
I should portray a certain image to everyone
So I can’t really show you how I feel
Though when around you I feel like holding you close
And not let time pass because I feel at ease

I feel you need someone
To be there to catch you
When you fall down hard
I want to be that person
A pillar that holds you
And builds you up

I feel that yearning in your soul
You think you’re self sufficient
But why don’t you rely on me
I want you to know
I want to be there for you

It’s okay to let yourself go
The world is not perfect
And some say you may fall
If you don’t prepare yourself
But there is beauty
In seeing the good of mankind

If your heart really seeks it
Then you will find someone
Whom you can rely on
It may not be me, but it could be me
My heart yearns to fill your void

I come without hidden agendas
And I want you to be complete within
I don’t know what you want
If you want me at all

I offer you a fort of solitude in my heart
And even if we stay only friends
I want to be there for you

And I cannot articulate a perfect way how to say
You inspire me and you empower me
I feel inadequate in your eyes
And I want to be so much better for you
Just being next to you I feel can bring about growth

I don’t know if our futures intertwine
But you are one special person that confounds me
