I'll show you mine (a love type thing)

Do you know

The reason why

We have to live

Until we die

The life of days

And always feeling

Can touch the heart

And get us reeling

Stepping back

And on our guard

We wonder why 

This life's so hard

Why must we feel

So much pain

Why not more sun

Instead of rain

Why not more love

Instead of hate

Why doubt the feeling

Why the need to wait

Because you never know

When you give your heart

If on the other end

The same will start

So then you worry

And the you fret

You give yourself

But you don't get

Why is this

I'll tell you why

Because you belong to you

Not some other guy

You choose your feelings

You chose the feel

You said yourself

You're always real

So don't blame the other

If they seem too slow

It's not their fault

They didn't know

They had to return 

All that you give

That's not the way

We all now live

We live to love

That much is true

But the love is yours

And it comes from you

So don't demand

Or even expect

That love will come

And be direct

Of course they care

As you would too

But after all

That's what you do

So if you love another

Don't change your heart

But don't change the other

That's not your part

That belongs to them 

And if they're real

They won't string you along

About how they feel
