Love Is Complicated

It's complicated
I've never been scared to be the one to say it
I don't want to delay it 
Painting a picture, but some will say I'm wrong to portray it
I'll always have love for you, no matter how long we dated 
That's just how my heart feels and how my mind works 
My heart loves too easy, but you need to get my time first
I went through a stage of thinking I had to save every damsel in distress 
Have you ever pressed send and instantly wished you could cancel the text? 
Can someone who needs saving himself actually save another? 
Why are the most kind people always made to suffer? 
Are there too many reasons why? 
I wish I could shed tears, I can't even cry
Giving up isn't a part of the plan
I don't fear a man with a gun to my head or an enemy with a knife to my throat 
But I do fear a woman with my heart in her hands
I've had it squashed too many times, and only just got it back in shape
Will you protect me, If i promise to give tomorrow what I lack today? 
Women are stronger, that's not an opinion that's a fact
I know this because When I fell, she caught me and even I knew my baggage was difficult to catch 
She managed to Hold my baggage and me both up
When she spoke to me, my wounds started to close up 
this came to an end and we broke up 
Some things aren't meant to last, and should be enjoyed while they exist 
Cupid shot his arrow but he missed
I'm not mad, because she was what I needed at the time but not for life
I wish her the best, I hope she's alright 
I've got my heart set on a girl who I can't stop thinking about
I hope a Genie appears from the wishing well I'm drinking out 
I haven't felt this way about a girl in a long time
Which makes it harder, even with my strong mind
Honestly I don't think I've ever felt this strongly about a female before
We've both been through so much, maybe we're not ready to go through more
I want more than just to see her naked
So many words for her, but I don't know how to say it
Damn, why does love have to be so complicated
