Wants More

When I was sixteen,
expressing feelings
came more naturally.

I threw myself off,
and faith was enough,
believed I'd get caught.

but I went down, down, down, down.

When I was sweeter,
I wore his sweater
during the summer.

I saw him play sports,
make a move for her,
like a king of hearts

but I gave him his sweater back.

My heart is tired
but I still want more.
Glutton for punishment
what else is my heart for?
It's been a long time,
and it's a little sore.
My heart is tired,
but it still wants more.

When I was softer,
I would run after
what my heart asked for.

I'd be a failure,
if I didn't learn
from the, "it's overs"

but doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

Now that I'm older,
it's true I'm harder,
I'm also smarter.

It comes with heartbreak,
it comes with mistakes,
how you find your strength.

It's probably more than you think.

My heart is tired
but I still want more.
Glutton for punishment
what else is my heart for?
It's been a long time,
and it's a little sore.
My heart is tired,
but it still wants more.

Will you come closer?
Make my feet warmer,
Come on, I dare you.

Now that we're right here,
put your hands in my hair,
feels like a good idea

Even if I am kind of scared.

My heart is tired
but I still want more.
Glutton for punishment
what else is my heart for?
It's been a long time,
and it's a little sore.
My heart is tired,
but it still wants more.
