"CAREFUL OF YOU" by David Guilbault

If I thought I could love you bravely,
As brave as I’ve loved before,
If I thought I could, then I would.

If I thought I could love you freely,
As free as I’ve loved before,
If I thought I could, then I would.

But I think my heart has lost its nerve,
Afraid for itself to be true.
And I think it knows it’s got to be careful of you.

Thought I had a love to last
A lifetime, maybe more.
Thought I had a lover for all time.

To think that she could take her love
As if it never was,
Giving not a thought to what’s left behind.

But I think her heart had lost its nerve,
Afraid for itself to be true.
And I think it knew just what it had to do.

Hearts that love so brave and free
Break so tragically,
Losing all their courage when they do.

Now I think my heart has lost its nerve,
Afraid for itself to be true.
And I think it knows it’s got to be careful of you.
