What?

Ok..say I was up front and told you how I feel?
Would you laugh and tell me that it isn't real?
Would you scoff at the idea and even push me back?
Saying that you can't provide something that I lack?
Put you on a pedestal you fear, well why not?
Even if you fall , your still you, are you not?
In your heart lies the woods, this I now know
and if you ask me, a little Bird, he told me so
Black you say your heart is, dead I have been told
But I can see right thru you, its truly made of gold
Its strong, and it is powerful, and I could only wish
That you would let me work on removing the tarnish.
You could love me, you know? If you just let go
And I would do my best to be what lifts up Joe.
