Letting Myself Love You

At the sound of your voice I was bound to fall

Powerless against your siren call

Every moment in close proximity

Invites a dangerous vulnerability

Wine red flags go up but my guard is down

The alarm bells sound

Too late now to turn around

It's like you’re an unstoppable force

And I’m an immovable object

Two lives on a collision course

Taking off like a rocket

Like two cars crashing head-on

What once was weak now seems strong

Everything I thought I knew feels wrong

The best and worst thing I’ll ever do

Is letting myself love you

One look at you and inhibition dies

Drowned in a pair of oceanic eyes

Every moment with your hand in mine

Emotions I can’t keep in line

Walls fall like a guillotine blade

And there’s no escape

I can’t be saved

It’s like you’re a raging wildfire

And I’m a melting polar ice cap

Two opposites come down to the wire

Like lightning before the thunderclap

LIke a jet gone into a nosedive

From darkness, hope now springs alive

What I thought died in me somehow survives

The only thing that still holds true

Is letting myself love you
