You opened up when I was guarded
You were the spark to light the fire in my chest
My heart had hardened
You lifted every burden when you said
I wanna love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
You’re my spark, my validation
There’s an art to how we go about this life
So have no reservations
Cause I will be the one to paint you starry nights
And love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I don’t claim to have perfect reputation
I’m just asking can we take this from the start
I understand your hesitation
I’ll fight your fears to heal your broken heart
And love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best not just better
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I wanna love you the best
