What have I done?
I spoke your love out loud
Now it acts like an entity
that i summoned
But I can’t satisfy
She wants me to act
In her name
Fuelling my rebellion
Asking me to prove my claim
Striping me from inhibition
Freeing me of shame
Breaking out the wild love
that took me years to tame
Cutting the weights off my wings
They spread wide
And I realize
I did this to myself
The day I called your name
I realize this passion is my doing
There’s only me to blame.
