I wrote this for a friend.
I'm holding this mirror up to you
Do you see what I can see?
You've got this crust
From the busted trust
Your heart guarded so carefully
You've got the grooves and got the moves
And enjoy life every single day
You flash the smile
And enjoy a sexy while
In the end, you always had to pay
Crossing a field of dreams
A rabbit on the run
Your steps are light
Maybe from a plight
Making sure you belong to no one
I'm holding you still with a hug
In the mirror, I want you to see
You know it's all there
You just don't want to care
A soft, romantic heart you hide from others and me
Oh, I stood where you stand now
Starless and Bible black
One kiss to a broken wing
From someone trusted, who made me sing
What I never knew, she gave me back
You think you're in some audience
Real romance only happens on a stage
The guys say their lines
It's happened many times
Their intent making you turn the page
Yes, I know it hurts so much
You don't want to talk about it
I'm here to listen
And here to tell you
You'll find someone and want to shout it
He's going to step into your life
Warm your heart with a sun-kissed flame
Let go of the control
It's alright, you won't fall
Do you see he's feeling vulnerable all the same?
Many things in life are a given
And in that list there is love
It's not about sex
Or what you expect
You don't know what your heart is capable of
There is a movie I'm pointing you at
Maybe you've seen it before
It's a comedy-romance
About a couple who took a chance
It made you cry, you want to see more
Now look at me
I want you to get this
When you live a life of grandeur
Nothing is gained if you don't venture
You're my friend, I don't want you to miss it
Let him shoot that arrow
Don't be a moving target
For true love is real
You won't believe how you feel
Those who made your bed you'll forget
Your friends are standing on the sidelines
Wanting the best for you
We won't let you get hurt
Break out that smile and flirt
Go slow, enjoy, and have a life start anew.
