It is not easy to write about this song. It wasn't easy to write it. I had the end and the middle part, but I struggled with the beginning. I had five versions of it in writing. I wanted to find something that I believe when I say it. Something that is not cool, but true. Nothing to sell, but to offer healing. To myself, and to anyone who can find something in this song. This is where it all comes together. These are the parts.
lyrics
Please be for me
What I can’t be for you
Paint me a room
With a hammock for two
And come when I tell you to come
Let everything go
And run, faster now
Make me feel slower than slow
Oh, I could free you
From the pressure of pleasing me
From the labour of loving me
Just give me time
Give me time
Give me time
Give me time, give me
Love will help
Love will heal
Love will help
Love will heal
Child, let go, you’re not alone
Boy, no need to fight, you’re enough
Man, give up, it’s not your fault, no
You’re loved
Child, let go, you’re not alone
Girl, no need to prove, you’re enough
Woman, there’s no fault here
You’re loved
You’re not alone
And you are enough
This is not your fault
And you are loved
You’re not alone
And you are enough
This is not your fault
And you are loved
Love, let go, you’re not alone
No need to fight, you’re enough
(These are the parts)
You’re loved
(These are the parts)
Love, let go, you’re not alone
No need to fight, you’re enough
(These are the parts)
You’re loved
(These are the parts)
You’re not alone
(These are the parts)
You’re loved
(These are the parts)
You’re not alone
You’re loved
You’re not alone
You’re loved
You’re not alone
You’re love
Love
