I already love you more than I should
I feel so very much
Yet I reject the sweet warmth of your words
To protect my battle weary soul

The questions unanswered bruise
Those answers could very well kill
I’m torment and torture along with pleasure
rolled into one paradox beyond comprehension

I share with you everything I can give
I give you my body, my mouth, my mind
My soul is not up for the taking
Leave my heart alone

What have I left if I give up my pride
What do I lose if I don’t
What can I give besides my own heart
Nothing that holds any worth

In giving you my heart I lose what little I have
That I can truly call mine
So my dear walk on and stand tall
For without me the candle will still burn

Take what I can give you
And know that I will always care
For I have given you
All I can share
