TINA SHAFER - Willow Lyrics

I don't do the dishes
I don't get there on time
And if you drink too much
Well I'll tell you I mind
Well Im not 22 but Im certainly not past my prime
I look to the future with an eye on the past
Ive learned my mistakes and those lessons last
Im stuck in my ways so afraid change might happen too fast

Tell me how do you let someone in
How do you start over again
How does the oak find the strength to be a willow and bend

It used to be easy to find someone new
To go with the flow
Where ever the wind blew
But years maybe tears and fears make it harder to move
Maybe he's out there
He's thinking like me
Bound my convictions and his daily routines
Trying to open inside and be someone he wants to be

Tell me how do you let someone in
How do you start over again
How does the oak find the strength to be a willow
I will let someone in
I will start over again
Love gives the oak the strength to be a willow and bend
To bend, to breath, to learn to be free
Its time, it's time
