I feel like Shakespeare

Jul 28, 2005 02:53

I can't help but believe that this is true
I'm lost, confused, I don't know what to do
It's clishe, but I think this truthfully
The love you give, I feel I'm not worthy
Your gaze is much too good to see my face
And I do not deserve your arms' embrace
You're handsome, sweet, so caring and so smart
A girl like me's unworthy of your heart
I want to hold on to you, but I know
reality could it, and you could go

I'd give the world if I could be the one
who's by you at the rise of every sun
whose face you see lit by the stars' dim light
kissing your lips and bidding you good night
But by a spurt of insecurity
I feel that you deserve better than me

A girl who has more beauty than the snow
as it lands on the petals of a rose
who matches all your wit and all your grace
and flaws... she does not have a single trace
you need someone who you can be proud of
you need someone who's not scared of your love
I'm so far from a girl that you deserve
My heart feels guilty for having the nerve
to think that you, so mar'vlous and so bright
would find me someone worthy of your sight
I could try all my life and never get
to a point where I deserve your merit

I'm scared that one day, you will realize
that I am not what you idealized
You'll walk out and crush what's left of my heart
and I will hurt like hell when you depart
this fear puts up all my heart's defenses
and puts a deep freeze on my mind's senses
it's something involuntary I do
but then, I'm not giving my all to you
I know that is what you deserve to get
but my heart's wounds have not healed up quite yet

Eventually with time, they'll go away
then I can be what you need, come what may
I still won't be what I think you deserve
I might not have the beauty, or the verve
I'd like to try, if you give me the chance
so much could evolve from this sweet romance
though I'm not perfect, I will always be
the girl that loves you and wants you happy.
