Giving Up Me To Be Loved By You

My heart and I will fight it out

About the things you do or say,

I tell my heart, "I love you"

Almost every single day

But there are times I stop and think

Of what you're trying to do,

Am I about to change my life

Giving up me to be loved by you?

My friends are slowly slipping by

No more they come around,

It seems they think I've changed a bit

And new friends I have now found

But if they only knew the truth

And maybe they really do,

They can see the changes I have made

Giving up me to be loved by you

The clear space I used to call my own

Is now a galaxy of stars,

The clear windows I used to look out

Are now covered up with bars

Why can't I see the light?

So many different things I do,

My mind tells me to stop

Giving up me to be loved by you

There is a feeling called control

That lies with you inside,

A suspicion that my heart detects

Then tells me not to hide

The smiles I used to flash so free

Are disappearing too,

Am I losing my identity

Giving up me to be loved by you?
