The protection of these arms holds no invitation. I see you for all that you are and all that you have been. All that you keep hidden doesn’t need to be said. I will still be captivated. I have seen the people that have touched you and not known you, yet you let them in willingly.
Dust off your knees
Heal up your heart
Build up your courage to restart
Dust it off baby, Dust it off
I have stood in wait watching from the shadows. Ready to pick you up, when they let you down. I am here but you don’t see me. One moment is all I had and the pain of not being enough to keep you tears my heart in two.
Dust off your knees
Heal up your heart
Build up your courage to restart
Dust it off baby, Dust it off
These people who wounded you had more of you than you dare to give me. I want to let you go, yet I don’t know how to look past you. You who gave me hope. You who took it away again.
I’ll dust you off baby
Get off my knees
Build up the courage to let you leave
Dust you off baby
Can’t dust you off baby
Dust you off
