Because
Lovers are lovers
And friends are friends
They both have beginnings
They both can end
What makes them valuable
Is the telling of the true
I approach shield up
If I don't know
What I am to you
I am by nature guarded
I am by nature caring
For it is but a hair's breath
Between foolish and daring
For this man I believe
It easier to walk through fire
Than to understand the flames
Of a woman's desire
How do you want nothing
But dance with it all
How do you surrender to love
But not end up a wind up doll
That's why I run
With the wind and ice and rain
That's why I roll and box
And with the young train in the pain
Because it should be simple
It should be a gift
It should be a kind of magic
That comes in and uplifts
Hey
I'm willing to work
I'm willing to understand
But I go from guts out
To not giving a damn
So with me it flows like a river
It crashes like waves on the shore
I feel a kinship with the hawk
His talons can rip and shred
But oh how his wings can soar
