Love or limb

I’m not ready to tell you my truth
Still I don’t want to lie anymore
All I want is to have someone
Still I don’t want to go to the war

And if I could just let myself be held
While I still rub the salt in my wound
And if I could write a love song for you
And not be so concerned with the truth
Then I think that I might be alright

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t say to you
Still there are some things you don’t need to hear
Like the reasons why I should be walking away
Like the reasons why tonight I’m staying here

There are times that I think
All you need is my love
There are times when I fea
All you need are my limb
And I need some way
To wrapped you down
Without leaving you behind
Some way to keep all this with me
While setting it alive

And if I could do
Just one of these things
Then I think that I might be
Then I think that I might be alright
