I do this because you look so beautiful
I want to tell you
I really do...
But once you get up in the morning you lock me out
I try to speak to you but you block your ears
I won't push it because I am a gentle man
I knock ever so gently but you ignore me
Cracking up the rhythm of your daily busy schedule
I watch you as you go through the papers on your bed side table
The ones that cause you to worry
I want to tell you it is okay
But you've locked me out
I am sad not just because you locked me out
But because you don't even know you did
You did by the wall of guilt and condemnation you built around yourself
I really want to get through but you convince yourself you are too filthy for my eyes to behold
You say to yourself you are too much of a mess and I couldn't possibly want you
But I do!
I want you just that way...
I can wash you and clean you up
I love you so much I could only die to prove it
I want to take away the fear that eats at you at night
I want to hold away the aches that you try to hide
I see your secret tears and you don't have to be strong with me
I have enough strength for the both of us
I don't condemn you! No never!
I know what you did but I love you more
You don't have to earn it I gave it to you freely
I will keep watching and loving you
I will keep knocking
I won't push it because I am a gentle man
I will wait till you accept my offer...
I will wait...
