To All the Hearts I've Broken Before [Reprise]

I've been many things, but
I've never been yours. 

I come as I please, 
and it will
never 
happen 
a moment
sooner. 

I'll fall for you, land
on my knees for you, 
I'll give and you'll take 
and I'll let my heart bleed 
for you. 

But, this vessel wasn't made for
hand crafted and paid for 
your pleasure alone. 

I've lived ~

I.
Have.
Lived.

~ through seasons
and I cherish the 
nights ahead of me,
new love I know will be

because

when you drew me 
into winter you forgot. 

I'll chew my own foot off 
before I submit to a cage. 

I am sunshine, passion, 
and power, I can give life
and bear witness to flowers. 

I bow to the moon and
will remind them when they 
think it's too soon, to refrain
from taking me for granted. 

I am earth, the ground their
soul leans on, and they'll cherish
the gift and shared dreams from
vulnerable positions
in between sheets. 

I fell for you, waited
in the cold for you, 
but now I'll thaw
and welcome spring
for them. 

And on my way
I'll eat and I'll pray, and
love myself in the ways
you never could. 

And when I'm back
from that climb
because, darling, you
can be sure I never miss,
another summer will be
right around the corner.
