I won’t leave you speechless.
Can’t make you buckle at the knees.
But I promise you I’ll think too much
Then bite my tongue ‘til it bleeds.
I can’t hold a conversation.
I’ll never leave you wanting more.
But I guarantee, it’s you and me
‘Til death kicks down my door.
I may not be too famous.
No, I’m not a household name.
You won’t hear me on your radio,
But my heart works, all the same.
I never lied and never cheated.
Not a lover nor a test.
Because I care about this frail old vessel
Broken in my chest.
