A Generous Heart

Was it an err, I remember all that we shared
I remember just how much you cared
but now its broken, its been years and we haven't spoken
the door is still open, left ajar with the memories
Like the shattered past I was reminded of our tragedies

Hope was a constant commodity, was it love or animosity?
I was here to share my hospitality, generosity, and willingness to rise through all that you taught me .

I was given a generous heart thats been crushed
I've been a shadow to the world, left to eat its dust
but I've picked myself up off that cold stained floor
I don't hang out with the same crowd anymore
Now I'm walkin' through a new door
it's a new pain that I've never felt before

It could be love? It could be just like a childhood dream
teenage love what did it mean to me
It could be fake? Could I possibly make that mistake
of letting this generous heart go free

I wanted to behold all of your thoughts and pains
cry on the days we were miles away
I wanted to put all your tears in a jar
and gaze up at the moon, wondering where you are

Were you that burnt out star I'd search for so long
Were you that fire in my heart that was nearly gone
I could only hold on to this generous heart
and I know that I loved you from the start
