Lyrics to Dear You

I laid eyes upon this gem

A gem I knew I might

Keep it safe with all my heart

And my soul with unconditional strength

To defend and to sustain

To build a bridge to gain

Forever willing to break my back

Just to see you smile again



I got my chains uncuffed

From my wrist, allowing me to reach for you

Showing possibilities that it might never be true

Am I not shouting loud enough right in front of you



I'm the loudest cliché you'll ever hear

Coming from my mouth that speaks of truth

Sorrows and remorse bursting my ear

But you reached your hands out to soothe, me



Following you into darkness and light

Without questioning to where we're going

Till the horn blows, and till the siren sings



Dear you

My heart it beats, it beats so quickly

Listening to my bones rattle under my skin

My palms moist and my knees are weakening

My world stops and I hear myself breathing



I'll hold you and I'll keep you under shelter

To show you love you'll never know



To love is to give

And I have given you, my everything
