Her

I hear a voice
It sounds like a song
I hear music when you speak
Something about her
Like an old fifties song
Makes me promise never to leave

I hear a voice it sounds like my dad
He says
To love's to give up everything
Nothing lasts
Or so it seems
So would you love me
Despite everything

Love is a risk
You don't want to take
If I do speak quite candidly
You take that risk
Every time that you sing
And with every word you speak
Like an artist paints
Or an actor emotes
Or a lover writes poetry
There is something
About sharing yourself
There's truth behind beauty

I hear a voice it sounds like my dad
He says
To love's to give up everything
Nothing lasts
Or so it seems
So would you love me
Despite everything

I hate love songs
Purely selfishly
I don't want to cling
To unrequited love
And regret every word
That I sing
My dad said
Love spent
Is never love wasted
For it reflects
The heart of god
To let go of yourself
Let go of these dreams
Even let go of her
