Sticks and stones
Broke my bones
And you're words forever haunt me

Bruises fades
Wounds will heal
But you left my soul forever bleeding
If I'm being honest
I just want us to fall in love
Let the world around us fall apart
I don't care
Just let this be simple
I will love you and you love me in return
And that will be enough for our tired souls to endure the chaos in the rest of our lives
Please
Don't be in love with somebody else
I think I'm starting to love you
And I don't know how to stop
I don't think I can handle giving you my love to only have it returned
So please
Just love me and we'll figure out the rest later
I want to fall in love with you
I so desperately do
But unfortunately there were men who came before you that wrecked my heart
And ever since then I haven't been able to love the way I want to
(The way I know I could)

I will give you my heart
But only if you can make the promise this is the last time I give it away
Maybe one day you will love me
But if not
Please know how thankful I am for your kind eyes and tender heart in my life
You are a beautiful thing
A tender spirit
Residing within a lion's heart
I'm not sure how you manage to be so strong and fragile at the same time
All I know is how I adore you
And hope one day,
To be half the woman you are
You have to understand
It is easier to suffocate myself with wine
Than drown in my tears
