I feel your heartbeat in my ear
I feel your strength as you pull me near
Your touch is so gentle,
Wild and untamed
One night with you
I’ve never been the same
You tell me you need me
you say you still to love me
but the time is not right
when what you really mean
is I’m not worth the fight
One day I’ll break free
These chains will rust off
When the time comes
I’ll leave with a scoff
I’ll forget you and this pain
this emotional drain
Till then here I’ll stay
Hopelessly waiting for your love one day
