I act strong, but I am weak
I handle my heart like it’s about to break
I’m stubborn, and so hard
Can’t ever let you see my scars

Figure me out, find the key
Won’t give you a promise, just a maybe
Go ahead, say these words
Life with me won’t be like a pair of lovebirds

Chorus:
Well, honey, be still
Let me touch you, hold you
As you’ve touched me, held me
Be still, can’t you see now
This is what love feels like to me

Understand we could part ways
No explanations on that day
I could fall out of love
Just as easily as rain falls from above

Chorus:
Well, honey, be still
Let me touch you, hold you
As you’ve touched me, held me
Be still, can’t you see now
This is what love feels like to me

I can get confusing as hell
Never knew myself that well
Gotta go south instead of north
Are you figuring me out
Well, damn everything

You know I can hate you
But somehow I love you more
So close that door, darling
Silence my mouth with yours

I confess, I surrender
My heart belongs to you
Never to another
Well, love, be still, be still, be still

Let me touch you, hold you
As you’ve touched me, held me
Be still, you see now
This is what love feels like to me

I can’t be strong anymore
You’ve kicked my defenses down
Here’s the key, open the door
Prove that you’re what I believe you’re worth

I am weak in your arms
You and I, I can’t breathe
Fallen for your charms
Be still, you possess my heart

Be still, you possess my heart
You possess my heart
And we'll be a dream...

I think this is absolutely brilliant!
umm, actually I don't really think there
is anything you can improve on in your text
cuz i think it's perfect the way it is:)
Even though I probably would've ended it on the chorus
cuz i like the last part of the chorus: "This is what love feels like to me"
and i think it's a nice little sentence to end the song.:)
Well, I really like it! The way you wrote it and what you wrote.
(the whole key-thing was cool and also how it's kinda throughout the whole song:).)
i can only say THUMBS UP from me:D

hello ross.
okay. this is a nice song: you've got the emotions poured out, you've spoken with force, with conviction. when i read it, i thought it would be something like country, or a sad song. but then i may be wrong.

i love the lyrics. my fave:
I confess, I surrender
My heart belongs to you
Never to another
Well, love, be still, be still, be still


keep writing. :)
You've got the key to my heart..but have you forgotten about a duplicate?
Sorry. I've already given it to someone else.



Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.
