I need to love
To feel
I need to know
To heal
That's why I come
To you
To show desire
Is true
I want to
Love the way you love
That way I won't love
Another
I want to
Hold on to my truth
To know that it's you and not
Some other
Don't give me
Your words of wisdom
Only one will listen, and that's
Your lover
Don't tell me how to feel
About my heart
It doesn't matter how you end
Or when you'll start
Your words always matter
When you're not here
Like telling birds how to fly
With calm in the wind
Don't tell me how to know
Just how to love
It doesn't matter where you've been
It's just not enough
You tell me to move past it
With love within
Like telling birds how to soar
With calm in the wind
I need to starve
To know
I need my love
To show
I need to free
My soul
I need to wait
For more
All because you
Said so
Don't tell me how to feel
About my heart
It doesn't matter how you end
Or when you'll start
Your words always matter
When you're not here
Like telling birds how to fly
With calm in the wind
Don't tell me how to see
Just how to love
It shouldn't matter where I've been
It is enough
I'll tell you to go off it
With love within
I'll let birds fly and soar
With calm in the wind
