More Importantly

It's true, I do,
Keep fighting in the dark,
Throw punches, not looking,
Where I'll make the mark,

Sure, I'm wreckless,
Losing my control,
Facing all my demons,
Trying to find my soul,

Not like I'm a heartless man,
Just a man who's heart is trampled,
You'd be lucky to get a beat,
Love was only sampled,

Love has put me in this mess,
Also put me to the test,
if love is what you truly are,

Shake off all the rust,
Love me if you must,
I'll try to embrace trust,

More importantly,
I'll try to respect me,
So I can respect you.

You're right, I'm damaged,
How the hell have I managed,
To even ask your name,
And let you do the same?

Not like I'm a heartless man,
Just a man who's heart is trampled,
You'd be lucky to get a beat,
Love was only sampled,

Love has put me in this mess,
Also put me to the test,
if love is what you truly are,

Shake off all the rust,
Love me if you must,
I'll try to embrace trust,

More importantly,
I'll try to respect me,
So I can respect you.
