Understand


You gazed into my eyes 
I stared back got frightened then turned away 
You asked " what's wrong "
I replied with nothing
Brushed it off as if the memory was already hazy 
I told myself that your a mere boy searching for a girl to call yours 
Maybe that is why I'm so afraid of you 
Because everyone I have ever loved has left
See when you stared into mine 
I got soooo nervous 
I got so nervous that I couldn't do anything but glance slightly into yours 
And that glance was slight heaven 
So honey don't drag me into a love so strong I'm driven to hell 
I asked God to heal a heart break && he healed it with you 
What a miracle 
You've chosen to stay over everything 
Maybe that is what scares me the most 
That you care enough 
I'm used to runners baby but you your tough 
You've helped me walk miles through forest fires 
The past burns me, it burns us 
We're so haunted by memories we can't even jog so we turn into flames
Look at you 
Your so beautiful 
You inspire me to do better
To be better 
My fire had came to a slow burn 
With you it has now sizzled back to it's full potential 
Though you need to understand I will always be " THE GIRL " 
The girl with no emotions 
The girl who doesn't care 
The girl afraid to love because all she ever had left her there 
The girl struggling to find herself  
The girl struggling to love
I could never escape her so here's a secret I never share I will be the girl && " THE GIRL" will always be me
