Make no demands of my heart.

Just hold me tonight and let me cry.

Don't speak to me of things to come,

Or woo me with hollow promises.

Give me the opportunity of now.

Let me cry the tears I've held too long.

Let me regret all my wasted years.

Speak to me through your touch.

Wrap your arms around me

To shelter me from the rest of the world.

Here and now

Are the only things that matter.

I don't believe in the promise of tomorrow,

So I need this moment.

And let me fall asleep in your arms

On my tear-stained pillow,

As I think of my many mistakes

That I can't correct,

And awaken to a day

That holds no promise

Of healing my weary heart.
