To Own Your Heart

Waking up in the morning to a burst of gloom and dejection,
My heart feels heavy and there is this intense fear of losing you that drowns my senses
With an emotion, beyond my comprehension.
I know you love me and it’s not lies. I know you want me and it’s no tale.
But it’s just that I know I don’t fit the description of the perfect man you crave.
You can’t leave me coz you love me, you can’t love me coz you can’t find the man you want to love.
And I, in all futility want to cling to you.
Coz I derive all my vital strengths from you.
Baby, I love you and I know you love me too,
But I know I don’t own your heart, and that is what I wanted to do.


Your words are veiled to hide the resentment,
The battle between your mind and heart,
But your eyes can’t hide the disappointment
For having to settle for what you don’t want.
I see the pain you are in. I see that you suffer silently coz of the constant war
That you fight to force your heart to win over your perturbed mind.
Oh Baby, I love you and I know you love me too
But I know I don’t own your heart, and that is what I wanted to do.


Today, I set you free, to be happy
The way you want to be.
Today, I wanna see you fly, to the lands of your imagination
The way you see it in your dreams.
Keep me in your memories as I will keep you in mine,
The times that we spent together, I know, will always thrive.
This aint a sad parting, this I know, is for the best.
Oh Baby, I have always loved you,
But I know I didn’t own your heart, and that is what I always wanted to do.
