Still

My girl she had taught me well; Told me that I was young
Hon, your life's an open book; Don't close it before it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest; Is what I heard her say
A man's heart owed to her; But must I find my way?

Let my heart go.. Let your man grow
Honey let my heart go.. Or let this heart be still

Rebel my new last name; Wild blood in my veins
Red streaks down my arm; The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age; For what I heard was wrong
Even when I asked forgiveness; But what I said is done?

Let my heart go.. Let your man grow
Honey let my heart go.. Or let this heart be still

Honey now where is my home; I'm not all you wished of me
But a woman's love for her man; Unspoken, help me be
I took your love for granted; And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me; But is a cold stone all I see?

Never I asked of you and never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, that i'll take to my grave
Never I asked of you and never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, that i'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still
