Little Lesson Love Song Sonnet

from Handsome - Album 2 by Jamie Lawrence

/

lyrics

Oh you, are waiting for the past
to catch it's evil breath up to your lungs
and expose to me the monster waiting there,
to catch up with my heart and scare me away.

But I'm not waiting for a fright
for reasoning escape routes in the shroud of night.

'Cuz I forgive you
long before the break you'd give yourself, I know,
'cuz I'm the same.
So please remember
please recall
you're not the man you were at all.

Oh you, are watching out for love
with eyes that see a beast instead of a man.
So let me tell you clearly what I see.
Not damaged youth with all forgiveness spent,
but love deserving love, for the strength to repent.

And I forgive you
long before the break you'd give yourself
I know 'cuz I'm the same
so please remember
please recall
you're not the man you were at all.

Ok, I didn't know you at that time
but still I've got an "in" to chime:
I had a campfire with my tree
who said to love you eagerly.

Now all I can see is who you grew up to be,
now leave it behind in the smoke to clear
so you can see who you grew up to be
so you can see who you grew up to be.
Yes I have cried but I still like what I see
it's who you grew up to be
So you can see who you grew up to be
now so you can see who you grew up to be (x3)
now yes I have cried but I still like what I see.
I like what I see.
