DON’T LET HIM STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY

You were there, standing by the door,

Waiting for the seasons to change…..

For the cold Winter to give way to the warmth of the Spring.

And there he was, hunting for his prey.

Showed up at the right time with the right smile.

And even as your vision was clouded….

By the sandstorm of your aspirations,

He swept you off your feet….

With the promise of eternal love.

He was, you thought, the Knight of your dreams.

Only…. You couldn’t see wrapped in silk was the heart of stone

Hidden under the shining armour were the pangs of malicious intent.

If you look close, you will know this,

The heart that’s really crying out for you is not his.

Look behind you and you will find me

Take my hand and in eternal bliss you will be

Oh! Don’t let him steal your heart

No! Don’t let him tear us apart.

The fancy cars and the candle lit dinners are all a façade,

It’s of more than this that true love is actually made.

He’ll promise you the Sun, he’ll promise you the Sea,

Search deeper and his crooked mind you’ll see.

And now as you’re dancing to the lights,

With this man by your side,

Unmindful of my concerned eyes

Helplessly watching you fall for his blatant lies.

The music you dance to sets a raging fire in my heart,

As I see his pretence tear my true love for you apart.

I see you resting in his arms and I turn cold,

For they’re the ones that’ll surely strangle loves hold.

If you look close you will know this,

The heart that you hear truly crying out for you is not his.

Look behind you and you will find me.

Take my hand and together we will be.

Oh! Don’t let him steal your heart

No! Don’t let him tear us apart.

His love for you is only a shadow play.

Soon the lights will be gone,

Then the shadows will fade away,

Engulfed by the darkness of the brutal reality

Your expectant Love, then, a cast away.

Look thru’ his pretence, Oh! Do see what he is…

No, please, don’t be fooled by his kiss.

Sometimes I’m forced to think you’re blind.

For, can’t you see what’s playing on his mind?

Finally, when the curtains are drawn, you will realize

After the fanciful masquerade, in the floods of your own tears….

Your trust in love will capsize….

If you look close you will know this,

The heart that you hear truly crying out for you is not his.

Look behind you and you will find me.

Take my hand and together we will be .

Oh! Don’t let him steal your heart

No! Don’t let him tear you and my love apart.

All the pictures of your future that you painted….

With colors of his promises,

Shall fade to black and white…..wasted!

Leaving a portrait of dejection……a canvas of blemishes.

Blown away by winds of betrayal…..

The sands of disdainful time,

Your gentle heart I can see,

While I’m here standing, waiting for thee.

No! Don’t be fooled by his kiss,

Think of all that you’ll eventually miss.

If you look close you will know this,

The heart that you hear crying out for you is not his.

Look behind you and you will find me.

Take my hand and together we will be.

Don’t let him steal your heart away from me,

Cos’ mine it was meant to be.
