"Scared Heart"

He chants the rhythms and I am held
Suspended in time and Bandele's face.
"Let me belong to me
Before I belong to you."
Each beat sets my heart nearer breaking.
My heart's afraid of breaking
So, it will never dance.
My heart's afraid of breaking
It will never take the chance.

He sings of you; he sings of me
Though (God forbid) he knows it not.
Our problems, highly universal,
But belonging only to us.
We nourish them with insecurities
'Til they inflate...then burst like a sore.
My heart's afraid of breaking
It won't dance anymore.
