Verse 1)
I hear the worry in your heart, and baby, you are right
Too many promises are made, then vanish in the night
They let the little things break through and tear their world apart
Because they wouldn't do the work or heal a lonely heart
I’ve seen how love can turn to hate and leave you standing there
But hate won't solve a thing, my love, it only brings despair.
(Chorus)
But we’re gonna be different, girl, I’m telling you right now
We’re looking at the mountain before we take the vow
We’re starting with the truth, and we’re starting with the soul
We’re gonna heal together, baby, that’s our only goal
I’m not running, I’m not hiding, I’m right here by your side
With nothing left to fear, and nothing left to hide.
(Verse 2)
The shadows from the years behind might try to tag along
But we’ll face those ghosts together, and that’s what makes us strong
We have to be so honest, just to watch the years go by
I want to grow old with you, beneath a quiet sky
If we don't put the work in, we’ll be just another tale
But I’m building us a fortress that is never gonna fail.
(Bridge)
I don’t want to be your enemy, I don’t want to feel the sting
I want to be the one who fought for you through everything
When the road gets rocky and the days are getting cold
I’ll be the hand that reaches out for yours to have and hold.
(Outro)
I’m not going anywhere, my heart has found its home
I’m ready for the work, so you’ll never be alone
Yeah, I’m ready for the work...
Just you and me...
Forever...
(Fade out with a final piano chord)
