Good to Love
FKA twigs Lyrics

I'll pray for you if you give me time
I want to support you, but I also need some time for myself before I can do so.

I've had a thousand hearts
I've been in love many times before and am familiar with the feeling.

Now you're after mine
But I still feel nervous and vulnerable now that I'm opening my heart to you.

It's not your fault that I've loved to my limit
I want you to know that my reservations don't stem from anything you've done wrong.

I've had plenty so I know you're mine
But I also know that I have a lot of love to share with you and trust that you feel the same way.

If only a prayer would make your touch so I'd feel it
I wish I could magically feel your affection for me right now.

But I'd be wasting time
But I know that hoping for that is unrealistic and that I need to be patient instead.

It's good to love
I believe that love is a positive force and want to share it with you.

I've got a right to give
I feel entitled to express my love and affection towards you.

But when you give yourself away
However, when you give too much of yourself to someone, it can end up hurting you.

It always hurts too much
I know this from past experiences and want to avoid feeling that way again.

So you pray to get it back
Sometimes when you give too much love, you end up feeling empty and alone afterwards, and have to pray to recover that sense of self.

Only God can give you that
I don't believe that other people can fill that emptiness - only a higher power can truly heal it.

Make my body come alive
I want you to physically arouse me and make me feel alive with your touch.

I've got a right to hurt inside
But I also recognize that sometimes love can be painful, and I'm willing to take that risk by opening up to you.

So will you hold me while I cry?
When the pain does come, I want to know that I have your support and comfort.

And let me lay against your side
I want to be close to you physically during these moments.

So let me love
Despite my reservations and past hurt, I still want to love you and experience that connection.

My skin's irking
I'm feeling sexually aroused and eager for your touch.

Soft from friction paused
I want you to be gentle and tender with me, making me feel loved and cherished.

Touch me softly like our kiss is lost
I want your touch to make up for the loss of intimacy and connection we may have felt at times.

So I pray to get it back
Sometimes after losing that connection, I feel like I have to ask for it back from a higher power.

So let me love
Despite the risks and pain involved, I still want to love and give myself fully to you.

Just let me love
That's all I really want from you - just to let me love you.
