Your heart only knows sadness
The only ‘love’ you know is pain
You’ve been hurt too many times
I understand why you’re afraid.

I hate to see you so upset,
It’s okay to be angry you know.
Please understand that more exists
Not everyone is so cruel.

Let me set your heart free,
I won’t hold it too tightly.
I won’t squeeze it greedily
Or try to force it to be like my own.
I won’t starve it or stuff it
I won’t try to own it
I won’t call it mine
I won’t steal it from you
I won’t cut it or damage it
I won’t try to make it small.

I’ll let it chose its own path
All I’ll do is love it,
Let it know that I care
Then hold it up upon my palm
And release it to the sky.
It’ll know what to do,
It’ll take things from there.
