Burgundy from Burgundy by Dear Cecilia

I've been told that I'm a china doll
with a porcelain face
if I was ever dropped, if I fall
that I would break
no parts could replace
so I kept my own space
to keep safe

But I'm no good at following rules
got a little bruised
took some chances too
and one day I fell for you
now I don't know what to do

I've been dying to tell you about me
how my heart beats burgundy
and its need a release
from all the tension and locks I have left
from the very last breath
I took before we met

My lips are poised to say what's on my mind
but I'll save it for another time, another time
wrap it in a bow 'cause you know it's all for show
it's just that I'm terrified
can you see it in my eyes

I've been dying to tell you about me
how my heart beats burgundy
and its need a release
from all the tension and locks I have left
from the very last breath
I took before we met

I know, you know all about this
and I want to tell you
but I'm terrified
