An Exercise in Lyric Writing

Feb 27, 2010 00:58

I am far too loud, to be so well-kept.
I can't be your secret from the world,
Hidden away.
Why can't I be well-known and show my heart?

Why are you not proud, to be so well-loved?
I would love to shout your name from rooftops
And let the whole wide world know
You are meant to be my love.

Why are you ashamed of me?
What have I done wrong?
What drives you to hide me in the dark?

I cannot pretend to feel content
You rattle my nerves. You bring my skin alive.
You give me chills. The air is rife,
with electricity and life.

Tell me what it takes my dear,
I will go the miles.
Just to lie one moment in your arms.

Do not start the fire, if you do not want light.
I would walk the world, would walk my soles bare.
Would walk holding your hand.
I will walk to win your love.

I will walk
For love, for your love
For love, for your love
I will walk to win your love
