Let's stop and reconsider
what we're sharing

let's shower our paths with kindness
let's confess our intentions more often
our burns shouldn't be their scars

I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU

and it doesn't matter if you trash it
I'm honest enough to face it
and it doesn't matter if you're afraid
I'm brave enough to say it

I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU
I WANT YOU
