Pride


Closed down by your pride
Your true self that ego makes you hide
Trapped by the fear inside
Unable to open your heart wide

You could not risk looking like a fool
Too scared of ridicule
Oh why couldn't you place your trust in me
Our love could have set you free

We drew out each others fear and desire
A love that could have set us on fire
But you withdrew from me
You don't yet know how to be free

There is no need for shame
I know that it's me your ego wants to blame
And all I can do is let go
But I will never be afraid to let my love show

Have the courage to express what you feel inside
Or be dashed against the rocks of pride
