The innocence of love
Can take your breath away
It crawls into your heart
And takes over your day

It sounds like something from a fight
It happens to everyone you know
It guides you the way it wants
Taking you where it wants to go

I can’t help but have this thought
Cause I have been there before
I am afraid it is happening again
But I just can’t walk through the door

I know it is unlocked
And will open wide with a single decision
Shooting pain into my life
With such pure and deliberate precision

I just don’t know what to do
I cannot help but feel lost
I want to walk though the door
But at what cost

What will I lose, who will I hurt
What changes will I make in another’s world
How will I explain to the people in my life
It’s the way that mine has unfurled
