You keep to yourself, hiding yourself away, building your walls higher and higher, thicker and thicker until no light or sound could possibly penetrate
Little one, tear down your walls, tell me what's in your heart, your vulnerability is safe with me, you don’t have to hide, you don’t have to pretend
What bothers you? Keeping you awake watching the stars as the moon passes through the sky
What makes your heart happy? Bringing that smile to your face and pulls that laugh from your chest
Show me your demons and your angels, the beautiful and the ugly side of you and let me love you anyways. Prove to you that both can be and deserve to be loved
You're always on my mind, compromising my late night thoughts as I lay in bed, day dreams of you as I laugh with my friends
Not once have you left, you're like little white lines staining my body, my mind, my soul a tie too tight for me to unravel
No one could ever take your place, no matter how many times I've tried to make them, you have set my bar high, but also so low. Your love was passionate and fiery, but the break up was just the same
The holes that have been singed through my heart can only be filled with your love
Could you please just stop running and stay for once?
Set down roots, don’t be afraid of the simple possibility of a storm
We're both scared, but we can brace any storm together
We can start fresh,
Fall in love all over again
Only you could make me feel this way, make my heart race with a single notification, break my heart without a single word uttered
Only you could take over my train of thought completely overshadow every my life
Little one, let's pretend the past doesn't exist, and it never has
Let's pretend we're meeting as we are
One more time, stay with me, and you will never fall
Take my hand and we can walk into a peaceful like never before
