Sweet Surrender

I tried to walk away…

But my heart stayed behind…

I built these walls so perfectly,

Locked away every piece of me,

Then you came like a quiet storm,

Made the cold feel almost warm,

I was good at being lonely,

Good at never needing somebody,

But your eyes told me something new,

I was tired of hiding from you,

Slowly falling, slowly breaking,

Every breath is yours for taking,

I don’t recognize myself tonight,

Every reason, every warning,

Disappears before the morning,

Maybe losing control feels right,

This is my sweet surrender,

Giving up the fight forever,

Tried to run but I remember,

Nobody loves me better,

Take my heart if you want it,

Hold my scars like they’re treasure,

I’m falling into forever,

This is my sweet surrender,

Your voice echoes through the silence,

Turning chaos into diamonds,

Every fear I buried deep,

You uncovered underneath,

I was afraid of the feeling,

Afraid of finally believing,

But even shadows need the light,

And I found mine inside your eyes,

Slowly falling, slowly breaking,

Every breath is yours for taking,

I don’t recognize myself tonight,

Every secret, every warning,

Fades away before the morning,

Maybe losing control feels right,

This is my sweet surrender,

Giving up the fight forever,

Tried to run but I remember,

Nobody loves me better,

Take my heart if you want it,

Hold my scars like they’re treasure,

I’m falling into forever,

This is my sweet surrender,

Maybe love was the danger,

Maybe fear was the cage,

Maybe I wasn’t losing,

Maybe I was finally saved,

No more running,

No more pretending,

I found myself…

In the ending,

This is my sweet surrender,

A moment I’ll always remember,

The storm became beautiful weather,

When we fell into forever,

Take my heart if you want it,

Hold my scars like they’re treasure,

I’m falling into forever…

This is my sweet surrender…

I stopped fighting…

And found you…
