There is strength in your tears
And so te fight to keep from pouring out
But what if te unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do te think there's enough to that te might drown?
[Chorus]
If no one will listen
If te decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what te really are
I will be here still
No one can tell te where te alone must go
There's no telling what te will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, "Just stay here"
[Chorus]
If te find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have dato out under the weight
If te find that you've been settling for a world of gray
So te wouldn't have to face down your own hate
[Chorus x2]
I know that te need it
I know that te 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
te tried to stay, but te could not stand it
To see te 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 te what we're gonna do, yeah
te will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left te 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 te live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell te what we're gonna do, yeah
te 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 te 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
te tried to stay, but te could not stand it
To see te 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 te what we're gonna do, yeah
te will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left te 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 te live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell te what we're gonna do, yeah
te 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
