how can i touch your heart,
if i can't hold your hand?
how can there be music, on a stage with no band?
you are unsure of my intentions.
i am unsure of your trust.
i have some expectations,
but you write them off as lust.
i have put in the time,
for someone else's crime.
i'm getting his second chance,
when he had the first.
you push me away
as if i have been cursed.

i set aside feelings,
to make you feel secure.
i bait the hook,
but i don't use the lure.
despite my frustration
i will wait.
i will make you understand
so that you can relate.

don't be afraid of my touch,
let go of the clutch.
come closer and closer until we are one.
i am the hero baby,
not the one with the gun.

i will protect you and not pressure you at all.
i can't promise to catch you,
but i can cushion your fall.

if there is ever a worry
in your pretty little mind
just look in your heart and you will find
that i will always answer when you call
and i will tell you
that our love is one of a kind.
