Heart of my heart

I am in over my head

I am afraid to breathe

trying to help you

not knowing what you need.

Heart of my heart

I see you smile

what I want is to hear you;

your thoughts

your hopes, your dreams.

Heart of my heart 

I want to take your pain,

I want to walk this road for you

so you never need to again.

I am afraid to fail,

afraid to let you down.

Standing at the door of your future

and I can't find the key.

Heart of my heart

I want to hear your voice

tell me about your friends

 or share with me a silly story.

I can't see how to help you

every turn is one more

in a maze that I am lost in

I am scared, alone.

Heart of my heart,

I want you to tell me about your day, 

ask me a question,

I will hear anything you want to say.

My walls are caving in,

the darkness holds no light

I can't stand the thought

of failing you in this fight.
