Gentle Heart
Whispers of a Gentle Heart: Love, Doubt, and Self-Discovery in Jamie Paige's Melody
Lyrics
I sat out in the rain
I sought solace in the rain
To soothe my racing brain
To calm my restless mind
But anxiety comes through
Anxiety surfaces
When I begin to think of you
When thoughts of you invade
Oh I study where I am
Reflecting on my current state
To try and ground myself again
Attempting to anchor myself
But I am led astray
But distractions lead me astray
Distracted by the rain
Rain captures my attention
Oh my gentle heart beats for you
My tender heart beats for you
And all I can hear rings so true
All I hear resonates truth
But my gentle heart is pained to see
Painful realization for my gentle heart
My darkest fears, my jealousy
Confronting fears and jealousy
So my gentle heart trusts in you
Trusting in you, my gentle heart
That you might know what to do
Hoping you know what to do
I talk to you again
Engaging in conversation once more
We talk about our friends
Discussing our relationships
And everything that we're built on
Exploring the foundation of 'us'
How when I'm down, it seems far gone
When I'm low, it feels distant
And that feeling comes again
Resurfacing doubts about self
That doubt for everything I am
Struggling with self-worth
It's easier with you
Easier with you, but trust is challenging
But it's so hard for me to trust the truth
Difficulty trusting the truth
Oh my gentle heart beats for you
My gentle heart beats for you
And all I can hear is so true
Every sound confirms its truth
But my gentle heart is pained to see
Gentle heart distressed by shadows
All of the shadows inside of me
Internal struggles become apparent
So my gentle heart breaks in two
Gentle heart breaking in two
When I think of losing you
Fear of losing you is heartbreaking
I'm sprawled out in the rain
Lying exposed in the rain
My energy is drained
Drained of energy
And anxiety comes through
Anxiety confirms fears
To tell me that my fear is true
Validation of apprehensions
It's roaring at my back
Facing the roaring challenges
The pain of everything I lack
Pain of perceived inadequacies
But I don't think it's true
Doubtful but hopeful
I'll trust that you can love me too
Trusting in your capacity to love
