Whenever you look at me
i forget i'm older than you
your eyes have years that haven't passed
bittersweet, you're too beautiful
i try to be a leader but i end up lead
your words are comforting to me
speaking of things i never knew
giving me hope that i didn't have
just fight for it til they turn away
give it your all, until there's nothing left
hold onto that love and bleed it dry
cause nothing that powerful can be forgotten
and don't worry 'cause one day soon
you'll forget what it was like
to keep it all in, to fight it all down
and you'll be whole again, with Him as your crown
filled with thanks, i hug you tightly
worried that you can sense my sadness
always wanting you to be filled with love
surrounded by joy and beaming happily
sometimes i'll put on a show
and i know you won't clap for me
because you see behind the curtain
how my lines are dry, my eyes are tight
just fight for it til they turn away
give it your all, until there's nothing left
hold onto that love and bleed it dry
cause nothing that powerful can be forgotten
and don't worry 'cause one day soon
you'll forget what it was like
to keep it all in, to fight it all down
and you'll be whole again, with Him as your crown
