through my eyes

that's how i see you
through my eyes
as if any other pair
or sensibility would do
could do any better
my best is not enough
    i am afraid to share
    what is in my heart

am i making things up?
am i exaggerating?
building up, making you
more than you are
placing you high and nigh
on that ornate pedestal
of legend and lore
    i am afraid to share
    what is in my heart

i believe no...
there is a strong core 
a foundation of truth
i believe everyone sees it
but just can't say it 
i try to say it
i try to express it
in writing, in music
whatever i do
is incomplete
    i am afraid to share
    what is in my heart
