Not Afraid of Loving You
Embracing Vulnerability: Unveiling the Depths of Love
Lyrics
I mean to touch the hurt
I intend to empathize with emotional pain
And get my fingers down in the dirt
Willing to delve into difficulties and challenges
Down in the fertile loam
Exploring the rich and nurturing soil
Where all the heartache was sown
Where emotional distress originated
I mean to trace the scar
Expressing a desire to understand emotional wounds
And find the shape of who you are
Discovering the true essence of an individual
If you're willing to be known
Conditioned on the person's willingness to be understood
I mean to breathe you in
Intending to deeply experience and internalize
I mean to let you under my skin
Allowing someone to become an integral part of one's being
Down where the blood ran scared
Referencing a vulnerable and scared emotional state
Of anybody who dared
Concerning those who fear opening up emotionally
To open up my soul
Opening up one's soul for inspection
And find a man more half than whole
Finding a person who is incomplete and seeking healing
Who is willing to be known
Conditional on the person's readiness to be understood
Whatever we need to undo
Expressing a willingness to undo any negativity
Whatever's down under the roots
Referring to addressing issues at their roots
I'm not afraid of loving
Confident in facing the challenges of love
I'm not afraid of loving you
Emphasizing fearlessness in loving a specific person
I mean to summon trust
Expressing an intention to build trust
And gather up these pieces of us
Gathering and preserving the fragments of a relationship
Within the treasure trove
Metaphorically referring to a valuable collection of memories
Here in the evergreen grove
In the enduring and evergreen memories
And you will peel the bark
Symbolizing vulnerability and revealing one's true self
And put your hand over my heart
Placing trust in someone by exposing one's heart
If you're willing to be known
Conditional on the person's openness to being known
Whatever we need to undo
Reiterating a willingness to address issues in the relationship
Whatever's down under the roots
Addressing the core of problems or challenges
I'm not afraid of loving
Reaffirming fearlessness in the face of love's complexities
I'm not afraid of loving you
Specifically expressing fearlessness in loving the addressed person
