Believe you.

You say you love me, but wait

I'm quite the pessimist at times

Jumping to the worst possible conclusions with assumptions on my mind

You say you love me but wait

Till you see that I don't always wear makeup and my eyes don't always shine

That I'm clumsy and messy,

I drop things a lot 

You say you love me but wait 

I'm too much of a drama queen, and that arguments will usually lead to tears 

That I get hurt too soon and frown

And I always don an invisible crown

You say you love me but wait 

Till you know that lizards creep me out

And I expect you save me from them like your life depends on it

Because in that moment I almost think mine does.

 

You say you love me but wait 

I don't share my food 

But I'm going to reach out for yours

You say you love me but wait

I think from my heart more often than my mind

And I'm usually mistaken but I do it wrong each time

You say you love me but wait

I'm the girl that follows an idealistic cause

My friends are books and I still believe in Santa Claus

You say you love me but just wait

I play for keeps and love without restrain

And I'll follow you whenever you need me to

But I'll get back on the last train.

You say you love me but wait

I have a fake tooth and real scars

from the times I used to go in search of the stars 

You say you love me but wait 

I love words and the light that enters through the leaves

And the sound of whistling trees 

You say you love me but wait

I hug with warmth unmatched

I must say I'm quite a catch

When you learn to love every bit of me

The heartbreaks. The let downs. The cracks in the wall.

All creating a little space that you can enter from

You say you love me but wait

I smile at sunshine while others complain

And sometimes I even chase butterflies.

You say you love me but wait

There is a part of me that I hide at all times

But I'll give that to you too if you just try

You say you love me but wait 

I'm barely done

But you say you love me and I want to believe you.
