About…
This song aims to capture the giving and nurturing qualities of Type Two with just a hint of pride and a dash of flattery on the side. It expresses the difficulty experienced when we believe our worth is determined by how indispensable we are and highlights the defence mechanism of ‘repression’ – pushing our own needs away in order to be fully available to help others, trying to avoid being selfish or needy. The chorus takes us to the relief experienced when we realise that love is not a commodity or even definable, and that self-nurturance and ultimately, humility, are gateways to presence.

Lyrics
You have such a beautiful heart
If I give some more I know we’ll never part
I believe you’d be so lost without me
I’ve made love a form of art
So why don’t you love me after all I do?
Whenever you’ve called I’ve been there for you
I never knew how to say ‘no’ to you
Now I’m worn right through….but
My soul can rest when I realise
love is truly all around
I can be myself
When my own heart is found
I will love with no motives and no bounds
Embrace all I feel
Love can’t be lost or found
I know what you need before you say
Hope I never get in your way
But what I need is so hard for me to name
So I push it all away...but
Chorus
I glimpse my shadow
Giving to receive
Wishing you would notice
What I really need
It’s time to rest, love is all around
I can be myself
When my own heart is found
I will love with no motives and no bounds
It’s clear to me
Love can’t be lost or found
Love can’t be given, it can’t be taken,
Love IS.
