Making me Love

01-28-09













It’s been a long long time for me, it’s true
Longer than I would have wished to be
I’ve been through the valleys and ditches and through
The long nights, without liberty

I can’t say regret has softened my heart
Experience has hardened it still
And I don’t see how I’ll let go in part
Cause too long I’ve tasted this pill

But you know I’ll try, even if just for you
Though I won’t lie, it’s killing me to love you
My mind keeps replaying those words you’ve been saying
Those years that have crushed me to be what I am now
Somehow
You’re making me love

You gotta be patient with me, and slow
I may even never surrender it all
Please understand how I am and know
The temptation of you, I’ve seen it all

But you know I’ll try, even if just for you
Though I won’t lie, it’s killing me to love you
My mind keeps replaying those words you’ve been saying
Those years that have crushed me to be what I am now
Somehow
You’re making me love

So here I will go, yet again it seems
To open my heart and conquer my fear
I’ll try and let go of my rules and dreams
And live for today, the last day I’m here

But you know I’ll try, even if just for you
Though I won’t lie, it’s killing me to love you
My mind keeps replaying those words you’ve been saying
Those years that have crushed me to be what I am now
Somehow
You’re making me love
