passion

You should understand now
That I am as passionate about leaving
As I am about staying

I am not sure what you want from me
It sure seems like you want me
But you won’t tell me what I want to hear
Am I just letting myself get walked all over

Where did all that pride go?
I let it float by somewhere in the past
Let it go by
Because it couldn’t last

And now I come to you prideless
With my heart in my hands
Offering it up to you

I wish you could tell me you feel it too
Tell me
Maybe you have in your own way
But your own way is so slow

Compared to my fire that I bring to your door step
I’d like to stay here with you
But these tears won’t stop coming
Since I don’t feel you right here

Tell me I’m the one
That’s what I need to hear
Or I could walk right back to where I came from
I might take that heart right back
If you don’t have the capacity
To take care of it

Please don’t give it back though
Please take care of it
And love me the way I know you can…
