Heartbeats

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat

As of late I have been trying to behave myself

I've been struggling taming the beast of burdening someone else

But your patience is a shining light on the path ahead

I just need a little more time to trust the things you say

And I'm telling you that

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat

What do you see in me? I must have been born blind

I rarely see things that I like

I don't mean to dismiss the way you feel about me

It's all in my head, it's playing tricks you see

And I want to believe that everything about me you say is true

But that's at odds with my own self image, it goes askew

Just give me more time, I know my mind, it'll come around soon

Until then I'll keep listening to you

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat

I want to believe that everything about me you say is true

But that's at odds with my own self image, it goes askew

Just give me more time, I know my mind, it'll come around soon

Until then I'll keep listening to you

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat

You speak honestly, speak so softly

Your ear on my chest hears my heartbeat
