Verse 1
There’s a shadow in my chest
Where all my questions like to sleep
Every night they bare their teeth
Every morning they follow me
I wear my worry like a second skin
Hide it underneath a smile
But you touch me like a prayer I don’t believe in
And somehow stay awhile
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, when you look at me
Do you see the man I’m trying to be?
Chorus
Because you are my every reason
The blood inside the wound
The moonlight on the water
Pulling me back to you
You are my every reason
The silence in the storm
The only thing I’ve ever found
Worth becoming more for
Verse 2
I’m haunted by tomorrow
By the weight of what I lack
Terrified you’ll wake up one day
And never find your way back
So I build a thousand futures
With your name carved into each one
A desperate kind of devotion
Like chasing the dying sun
Pre-Chorus
Tell me, when the world grows cold
Will you still choose these shaking hands to hold?
Chorus
Because you are my every reason
The breath before the dive
The only voice that reaches me
When I’m buried deep inside
You are my every reason
The ache beneath my skin
The only place I’ve ever known
That feels like I belong within
Bridge
If I could open up my ribs
And let you see the truth
You’d find every road inside me
Somehow leads to you
Every fear
Every dream
Every scar I couldn’t hide
All of them orbit you
Like stars around a dying light
Outro
So if you ask me why I stay
Why I fight when I am tired
Why I drag this weary heart
Through every flame and every fire
It’s you
It’s always been you
You are my every reason.
