There is strength in your tears
And so u fight to keep from pouring out
But what if u unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do u think there's enough to that u might drown?
[Chorus]
If no one will listen
If u decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what u really are
I will be here still
No one can tell u where u alone must go
There's no telling what u will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, "Just stay here"
[Chorus]
If u find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have gegeven out under the weight
If u find that you've been settling for a world of gray
So u wouldn't have to face down your own hate
[Chorus x2]
I know that u need it
I know that u don't need me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
u tried to stay, but u could not stand it
To see u shut down so slow
As though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us will fall over
I'll tell u what we're gonna do, yeah
u will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left u heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you?
It's so hard to believe it
Even as our eyes do see it
The very things that made u live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell u what we're gonna do, yeah
u will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, yeah
We will shelter you
I will shelter you, oh
We will pray with you
We will pray with you, shelter you
We will shelter you
We'll shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us is fallin' down
We're gonna shelter you
I know that u don't need me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
u tried to stay, but u could not stand it
To see u shut down so slow
As though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us will fall over
I'll tell u what we're gonna do, yeah
u will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left u heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you?
It's so hard to believe it
Even as our eyes do see it
The very things that made u live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell u what we're gonna do, yeah
u will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, yeah
We will shelter you
I will shelter you, oh
We will pray with you
We will pray with you, shelter you
We will shelter you
We'll shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us is fallin' down
We're gonna shelter you
