As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree.
Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul.
You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, and you
Come back home and it don't feel the same
Well I bled words onto a page for you
And you never knew my name
Didn't I say it slowly?
Didn't I make it clear?
Is it unfair to ask you
Why it is you're still here?
Open your heart
and let me know you want me here
show me that you really care
that our love comes first
and I'll open my heart
I'll give you every piece of me
you know I'll love you through eternety
and I always will
I always will
