How Do I Capture You

**My first attempt at writing a song**


I.

Were you not ready for me
Did I bring to much baggage
You didn’t seem to care
You decided to look through all my bags

I carried my tough exterior
But you saw through me
You knew there was more behind my masks
I wasn’t prepared for you

I broke down as soon as your eyes burned through my exterior
I couldn’t say no to you
But how do I burn my eyes into your soul
How do I turn the tables where you only find me irresistible

Chorus.

How do I capture and captivate you
How do I make you mine
How do I hold you so tight there is no where else you can run to

How ready are you for my love
Were you ever ready for it
It was yours to give
It was yours to receive

But I see now that you weren't ready

II.

You had gotten to the core of me
Revealed all of me
Exposed me to the world
Pulled out the things that wasn’t needed

But I wasn’t able to find your core
You never let up
You never removed your masks

You never let up on anything
How was I gonna find your heart
When you never allowed it to be mine

All I wanted was you
Not what you did for me
Or what you could do for me

I miss you my loved one

Chorus.

But... How do I capture and captivate you
How do I make you mine
How do I hold you so tight there is no where else you can run to

How ready are you for my love
Were you ever ready for it
It was yours to give
It was yours to receive

Bridge.

Here’s my heart
I lay it out there for you
Please don’t reject it
Because I don’t know if I can take it

Chorus.

But... How do I capture and captivate you
How do I make you mine
How do I hold you so tight there is no where else you can run to

How ready are you for my love
Were you ever ready for it
It was yours to give
It was yours to receive
