Take a chance on me; I promise it will be worth it. |
I am not like those You see on the screen Or in a paperback magazine I have goals, a life, a dream More than they'll ever achieve I'm not like those Who swoon at your feet A part of the masses Just another face Mundane commonplace In the crowd Of ignorant unbelievers Malleable sinners Who think they know everything About Life About Love About Me Well, I think not... I am much too Passionate To be contained Too free To be restrained I will not hide Beneath a lie Behind the hateful untruths They spew at me Vicious syllables To bring me down Oh those who know Nothing Truly earn their name You can't cage Or break me I won't be held down I'll keep my place Beside you Not behind you And see it stays that way I won't mold To what you want me to be A hollow impression Of who I cannot be But, if you take A chance on me You'll find much more Than you ever dreamed A raging fire Burning endlessly A patient heart Waiting longingly Empty, open To place you inside And keep you Forever safe Therein I can't be tamed Though I've learned How to fall Without a choice Or hope of recovery For when I saw your face I knew There wasn't anything I wouldn't do Now here I am Heart in hand My love Take me as I am |
