Do you Love?
Do you love?
She caught me off guard
With her question,
Maybe my heart was hard,
Shady with all these scars
Do I love?
No I betray things
I stray toward disdain
Like that's the way that they were training
When I was raised
True I do for you and you and you
But how much do I save for me?
Do you love?
Yeah, I do
I don't love the same as fools
And I might not like me all that much
So I saved it all and hoped it grew
It might be hard to see my love
When you receive it
If you do
Just know my love don’t feel like them
Nah, my love…
Is true

Too many people give themselves away too soon, David. And some not soon enough. The balance is tricky, and typically comes after loss.
Honest self-observation. When you give, it's for real.
