Drip…drop

Day in, day out, it was all the same,

Nothing extraordinary breaking through the lames.

After all the heartbreaks disappointment became my best friend,

Thinking the two of us would be together until the bitter end.

Drip…drop

On my face you’d always see a smile,

One that hasn’t been genuine for quite a while.

Lying, deceiving, perpetrating for one purpose,

To keep my heart of ice from floating to the surface.

Drip…drop

Love and be loved I could not be,

For I’d been exposed to many emotional catastrophes.

A head full of dreams, a heart full of sorrow,

Constantly wondering, will it get better tomorrow?

Drip…drop

The cold in my chest was becoming too much to bear,

Watching, waiting, praying for someone to be out there.

All I ever wanted was love and understanding,

Nothing like the others who are so damn demanding.

Drip…drop

Out of the darkness and into the light,

You took me by the hand and it felt just right.

Wherever you guide me I'll be sure to follow,

'Cause you're the only one who can fill the hollow.

Drip...drop

You let me into your soul without any hesitation,

It was then that I knew, this would be my final destination.

You make me feel things I never thought I could,

Didn't think I’d fall in love, just always hoped I would.

Drip...drop

On your mustang you rode, to save this damsel in distress,

To show me for the first time, the feeling of true happiness.

You told me all I need in my life, is a little bit of Passion,

You’re here to give me what I need, without me even askin’.

Drip…drop

To truly love you means to let go of my pride,

Let you chip away at my ice, let you reveal what’s inside.

No ones ever gotten through to me, not a soul from my past,

So if everything goes as planned you’ll surely be my last.

Drip…drop

My mind, body and soul are now in your hands,

Take care your precious cargo, it’s highly in demand.

Here’s to a future with you, I hope that we never part,

‘Cause that drip drop you keep hearing, is the sound of my melting heart.

Drip…drop
