Acceptance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’ve been thinking about this thing we call trust while walking today. Can we ever truly trust another? I’d like to believe it’s that simple. I’d like to live inside the stories where promises outlive the years fairy tales and melting sugar cones untouched by doubt or fear. I’d like to believe that’s how love stays. [Verse 2] But I’m not naïve. Nor am I cynical. I don’t think anyone is made for perfect trust. Not because people are bad… Because they’re human. We all fall short. We all lose our way. We can all become someone we never meant to be. [Pre-Chorus] So maybe… maybe I’ve been asking it all wrong. [Chorus] Maybe I don’t give you trust. Maybe I give you my acceptance instead. I can’t hold tomorrow in my hands. I can’t walk the roads you’ll take. I can only love you knowing you might disappoint me, misunderstand me, or leave. Because maybe love was never certainty just the courage to meet each other anyway. [Bridge] Trust isn’t believing you could never hurt me. It’s making peace with what I cannot control. It’s looking at another soul and saying “I know.” “Me too.” [Pre-Chorus] So maybe… maybe I’ve been asking it all wrong. [Chorus] Maybe I don’t give you trust. Maybe I give you my acceptance instead. I can’t hold tomorrow in my hands. I can’t walk the roads you’ll take. I can only love you knowing you might disappoint me, misunderstand me, or leave. Because maybe love was never certainty just the courage to meet each other anyway. [Final Chorus] Maybe I don’t need impossible promises. Maybe I don’t need forever explained. Maybe love begins the moment we stop asking each other to be more than human. [Long Instrumental] I’ve been thinking about this thing we call trust while walking today. … Maybe I don’t give you trust Maybe I give you all my acceptance instead.
