lyrics

We can talk deeply for hours, lose track of time and embrace our time together. You’re my best friend for a reason,
And I wouldn’t trade you for the world.
I’ll never forget the day you came to me and said
That you feel new.
It’s all I’ve ever wanted for you all of these years
And I tear up thinking about how far we’ve come
How far you’ve come
I’ve stood by you through thick and thin. I need you more than you think. I’ll stay up beside you if you need. We’ll take on the world, hand in hand.
Because I really do know. I understand you deeply.
And I know it’s scary to be vulnerable,
But just work with me.
I know that you feel broken.
And not the broken you always hear about in love songs.
Not the clichés of a conversation gone south.
I mean broken as in the “God must have made a mistake” type of broken.
The “I must be a defective product” type of broken.
And when you finally sum up the courage to say how you really feel, people look at you like the forsaken mess that you are.
With condescending smiles and empty words you are assured that you belong, but the truth is you want to be in pain.
It feels more real than being alive, to be on the brink of despair
And then you realize this only perpetuates the notion that maybe you are broken.
That the desperate attempt to accumulate sympathy has you scrambling for more.
The addictive property of attention can be a sharp sword.
It cuts through your legitimacy and jeopardizes your identity
Because eventually you become nothing more than a project.
But you’re okay with that; at least someone cares, or at least they say they do. When will you finally believe me when I tell you that you’re loved?
Because I will spill my guts and swallow them again over and over until you finally get it.
I will be there for the lows, I promise
I will be there for the lows.
So if you trust me, grab my hand and I will make you see that you mean the world and that a world without you isn’t complete.
You are loved, entirely.
