Held Back

I watch you as you speak

Words that I could have planted in your mouth

It's uncanny, there's no mistake

I am ready for this moment

But you seem to be

Held back, you came to me

Held back, what do you fear?

Held back, what I ask from you

Lay down your heart

Trust that this is true

I watch you open to me

We dive in an ocean so deep

And you are tender

You hold all of me

But something shifts

You withdraw and you decide to be

Held back, you came to be

Held back, what do you fear?

Held back, all I ask from you

Lay down your heart

Trust that this is true

Trust that this is true

Held back, what do you fear?

Held back, what I ask from you

Lay down your heart

Trust that this is true
