Saving you, Losing me

Thought I was saving you,

But I was losing me

I stored the hurt away,

Hidden in the shadows of yesterday

You were always by my side,

You always gave me your time

Now I’m left alone,

No longer feeling like I’m made of stone

Forced to look in, I don’t like what I see

But this isn’t the man that I want to be

Tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Look in my eyes, say what you have to say

Not giving up, not giving in

I made mistakes, it’s not the end

Tell me how to love you,

I’ll do whatever I have to

So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Thought I was saving you,

But I was losing me

Outstretched arms are reaching

My heart a door you’re breaching

Tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Look in my eyes, say what you have to say

Not giving up, not giving in

I made mistakes, it’s not the end

Tell me how to love you,

I’ll do whatever I have to

So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Shadows fade as dawn awakes,

New hopes rising, no more breaks

Walking through the fire, I emerge anew,

Every scar a story, every pain a clue

Tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Look in my eyes, say what you have to say

Not giving up, not giving in

I made mistakes, it’s not the end

Tell me how to love you,

I’ll do whatever I have to

So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay

Forever moving forward,

no turning back,

Finally, I’ve made this house my own.
