Love Openly

I've been through a share of love before

Some long nights, some short time dues

Had to learn how to be alone

Had to sit with my heart when nobody called my phone

Did they add up too much help?

Crying nights, working on myself

It gets a little boring, I can't lie

What I've been doing, thinking, looking deep inside

Then you came and caught my eye

Now I'm wondering if the time ain't right

I don't wanna make you feel like I'm moving too fast

But I don't wanna hide a feeling I caress

I don't wanna be next to you

Share my thoughts, listen and hear you true

How we gon' know the real us

If we keep our feelings all locked up?

I need release of time

The love in me, the real me

I wanna love you openly

No gaze or distance, no mystery

Let's not be strangers, let's be unknown and

Let's take our time, but don't hold back

We can be friends, let the feeling grow

And maybe fall in love if we let go

Baby, that's codeine

No fear, no lies, just us being clear

It's potent

I'll show you my heart if you meet me there

And I'll look and make you cautious

Especially when your past got losses

Maybe you've been hurt, maybe I have too

But I still believe something real can come

I'm not saying we got all the answers

I'm not tryna rush into forever after

I just want the space that I know you're not

No one makes you laugh, no one's on your mind

You can tell me where your pain came from

I can tell you where I'm coming from

No pretending, no acting tough

Just two people seeing if it's real enough

I just wanna be close to you

Not control you or pressure you

I want all of the things you never say

And give you somewhere safe to stay

I may release kindly

But loving me really

Not more than I love you openly

No means, no distance, no mystery

I'll stop at strangers, guess we don't know yet

Let's take our time, but don't hold back

We can be friends, let the feeling grow

And maybe fall in love if we let go

So then just go golden

No fear, no walls, just us being clear

Golden

I'll show you my heart if you meet me there

No rushing, no running, just honest conversations

No hiding, no running, just building a foundation

If you hear me, I'll be gentle

If you trust me, I'll be careful

We don't have to call it love tonight

But don't be afraid to run and sear it right on me

Release the kind me

The love to me, the real me

I wanna love you openly

No business, no business, no mystery

My sweet despising talk is so

Let the conviction naturally grow

And if our hearts dissolve, they know

We can fall in love, only to let go

Baby, let's go there

I've given my truth again to your words

Let's go there

Maybe this is what our hearts been waiting
