i'll be your heroine
if only you'll have me
and i will be better than i was.
and my love is perennial,
that is, it will never die
and endures always;
i won't shy from the troubles
and i will not break when they come
and if you let me,
i can undo the wrongs
and i will know and accept each fault
as they come.
i want to be your pretty baby
-- and love has taught me that i can only love you for what you are
(and that is all i want, all i need)
and i was mistaken
to try to change you to what you are not.
and i know i caused you pain
and i once hurt without thinking
and i can't imagine what it took
for you to be strong for me that night,
but know that
i will repay it
with my greatest debt --
i will be better than i was
and i must have scared you so much that night
but know that
i will fix it --
i'm right here
with my arms open --
and all our dreams i hold on to
folded away; safe in my palms.
