Louise Mosrie: Music

Dangerous and Beautiful

(Louise Mosrie)
You were never what I really wanted
You were only just yourself
God knows you did that well enough for us both

You were always on the verge of falling
I was always giving up
There was something in your eyes that I didn’t trust. I just didn’t trust.

You’re a reckless heart
And a falling star
And nobody knows how to catch you
But a reckless heart
And a falling star
Are far too dangerous and beautiful to be true.

Maybe I felt the freedom in your touch
Maybe I thought I’d lose myself too much
In your wild eyes I realized that faith was not enough. Faith was not enough.

You’re a reckless heart
And a falling star
And nobody knows how to catch you
But a reckless heart
And a falling star
Are far too dangerous and beautiful to lose. (I don’t want to lose)

So I’ll keep you frozen in my mind
Never let you grow gray with time.
You’ll always represent a part of me that was once like you. I was once like you.

You’re a reckless heart
And a falling star
And nobody knows how to catch you
But a reckless heart
And a falling star
Are far too dangerous and beautiful for me.
