Don’t tell me your tale of woe
about that ‘ho that let you go.
That’s more than I need to know
but I won’t say, “I told you so.”
There is not a sadder sight than
one who cannot see the light.
Trust me, hold me nice and
tight. Kiss me: let our souls take
flight.
From your soul there comes a
sound, saying that it won’t be bound.
No strings ‘round your heart are
wound. With me, freedom can be found.
Banishing your endless night will
take my strength and all my might.
You shouldn’t even try to fight;
I’ll make everything all right.
Our souls have known each other well. We’ve been through our own brand of hell.
It was almost a death knell but
we survived, as you can tell.
Your power I don’t want to
take. A puppet of you I won’t make.
My feelings for you are not
fake. In you, emotions I’ll awake.
The thought of this makes your
heart quake. To love again makes your
knees shake.
Please be brave for your own
sake: deep emotions are at stake.
On your terms I will agree to
have you unconditionally.
What you have to do is see that
it’s not I or you: but we.
In our hearts our love does
shine. A new relationship’s designed.
Here’s my hand: put yours in
mine. Finally, our course is fine.
Don’t tell me who you used to
be. Just show me what I need to see.
Please don’t be afraid of me: for
my love shall set you free.
