Fast Asleep
She's next to me
Her heart, it beats

So steadily

Her hopes and fears

And all her Dreams
She puts in me
So trustingly


The weight of love is more than all the world
Requiring a strength I can't provide

But gravity, love strangely may defy
If only I was not so terrified


I've seen her smile
I've made her cry
I've been embraced

I've been denied

All these things

A symptom of
A stumbling towards a perfect love


The weight of love is more than all the world
Requiring a strength I can't provide
But gravity, love strangely may defy

If only I was not so terrified

These doubts that are arising

They've become so paralyzing
Am I what she wants
Am I what she needs

Or am I just a letdown she can't see

My burning heart

Oh how it yearns
To be intrigued
At every turn


I've tried so hard
To walk the line

But nothing keeps me satisfied

The weight of love is more than all the world

Requiring a strength I can't provide
But gravity, love strangely may defy
If only I was not so terrified
