It felt like a big risk for me to take
It felt like such a big risk for me to take
To open my heart the way I’d done before
Because I knew parts of it were still mending
Which kept me feeling skittish and unsure

That past relationship was long done and over
But my heart was uncertain of another try
I couldn’t yet conclude I had recovered
There were still twinges of pain inside

Though I knew I was on the road to feeling better
I wasn’t sure if I had gotten there yet
But my heart which was still sore and tender
Was craving a new love and tenderness
I took a chance with you with wavering trust
Because I needed something I’d never had before
My heart was still very tender to the touch
But it had never felt a touch like yours

Your words touched me in all the right places
Long before your body ever touched mine
And your patience created some obvious traces
Of feelings that a love could work out fine

Your understanding touched me like a soft caress
Creating a soothing feeling in my heart
And slowly you put all my doubts to rest
Ending my resistance to what we could start

Though I knew I was on the road to feeling better
I wasn’t sure if I had gotten there yet
But my heart which was still sore and tender
Was craving a new love and tenderness
I took a chance with you with wavering trust
Because I needed something I’d never had before
My heart was still very tender to the touch
But it had never felt a touch like yours

My sore tenderness just needed your tenderness
My heart needed to be protected and reassured
Any touch seemed like a physical and emotional risk
But I had never felt a touch like yours

My sore tenderness just needed your tenderness
My heart needed to be protected and reassured
Any touch seemed like a physical and emotional risk
But I had never felt a touch like yours
Though I knew I was on the road to feeling better
I wasn’t sure if I had gotten there yet
But my heart which was still sore and tender
Was craving a new love and tenderness
I took a chance with you with wavering trust
Because I needed something I’d never had before
My heart was still very tender to the touch
But it had never felt a touch like yours
