No Pretendo

I don't intend to be the final straw that breaks your silence
Nor do I seek the note that escapes in your lament
I don't intend to be the footprint you leave on your way
Nor do I intend to be the one who crosses your path

I just want to discover myself in the light of your smile
To be the balm that soothes your sorrows in life
I just want to be the calm that slips away in your sleeplessness
To be the dream in which the reason for your desires rests

It's simply love when it has broken its chains
To give you my heart, I don't intend to own you

I don't intend to be the flame where you ignite your passions
Nor do I intend to be the sword that slays your mistakes
I don't intend to be the air you breathe at night
Nor do I intend to be the flesh that exudes your excesses

I just want to be the hand that holds in times of trouble
To be a little bit of that haven where disillusionment dies
I just want to be the star that sets in your gaze
The caress that is given without reason and without words

It's simply love that has found its way
To give you an illusion, I don't intend to make you mine
It's simply love when it has broken its chains
To give you my heart, I don't intend to own you

I just want to be the hand that holds in times of trouble
To be a little bit of that haven where disillusionment dies
I just want to be the star that sets in your gaze
The caress that is given without reason and without words

It's simply love that has found its way
To give you an illusion, I don't intend to make you mine
It's simply love when it has broken its chains
To give you my heart, I don't intend to own you

It's simply love
