I was never taught the nuance of love
I thought that if your hearts were synced
Then that was more than enough
So I gave my heart repeatedly
'Til both of us numb
But to count the times I've this type of love before?
None
I mean-
Even when I made it hard, you were patient
Made the impossible, possible
Even when I was flagrant
You gave me a second wind
And proper room for some changing
Without you, I feel aimless
Existence isn't the same is the laments
I fucked up bad cause I was scared for us
Scared that I'd repeat mistakes
Or do some shit that's fair to judge
But I didn't take the time to just be there for us
And in turn, that made you think I didn't care for your love
And that's on me to fix
That's on me to rebuild trust
Cause you ain't needed this
I had forgotten what it does
But I won't plead the fifth
I'll just acknowledge what I've done
No longer feed the shit that lead here
Cause forever, you're the one that I want
I'll treat you right and show my love for you
Show you what you mean to me
And have more trust in you
Imma make you feel my warmth
When I be clutching you
There so much to do
I hope I'll be enough for you
I mean-
At times it feels like you're too good for me
Like what's the good in me?
I ain't even true to me, but you could see
What's soon to be is marriage, building home
And kids that's beautifully
Sleeping in our arms, I'll be there dutifully
We'll give the love we never got
Guide them in the right direction
From the wars we've ever fought
I just hope we write the lessons
So they come out doing better, even learning the hard way
All I ask is that we do it our way
From rose tints to rose pedals
I can only hope that by the end, we both settle
Down into our home together
Look back and be proud of just how far we made
So 'til then, I'll keep you safe
