Let It Burn



Let it burn
Let it rekindle
Don’t fight it, baby
Like you fight so many things

Let me see
Let me in
Don’t be afraid of this girl
Whose heart is overflowing for you

I won’t laugh, I would never make you feel
Like anything but your best wasn’t good enough
I just want you – can’t you see that?
You as you are, not some perfect woman
Who will fall and bend and break so quick
I just want you – please come as you are

Let it breathe
Let it come alive
It’s been held in for so long
Suffocating in what we’ve denied

Let yourself try
Let yourself fly
Believe in me, in us, for just a second
And you won’t be disappointed... believe

I’m not going to run, I’m not going to leave
All you’ll ever see is a quiet, steady presence
I just love you – isn’t it obvious by now?
I adore you with every breath I take
This has never ceased in all this time and it never will
I just love you, darling – please give in to us
And if you still want me, still love me
I’ll... I’ll give you me.
