I want you to know I’m open

This heart it has its hurts

But I want you to know that I’m open

despite all my past words.

They sometimes speak too bluntly

and they sometimes speak too fast

But those sometimes lead me

down a path that doesn’t really last

Right now my hands are empty

Yes, they’re open for the new

You see, my hands are empty now

to be filled up with you.

So come on now I’m open

But only if you’re brave

I’m not someone who’s open

just to be another’s slave.

If what I am may scare you

then please don’t stick around

Demanding that you have a taste

of the good thing that you’ve found

My hands are only empty

while I wait for what is best

So come with empty hands

and be ready for the test.

I’ll know if you are ready,

when the season comes with time

Til then I’m open to be yours

if you’re open to be mine…
