I’ve always been out of place
A kid who needs his space
With something to prove
Too stubborn to move
Until this winter breeze
Knock me to my knees
I played my final hand
What you see is who I am
But you see what others don't
And take a second to think if I won't
You plant the conscious my soul needs
And keep me safe from all those weeds
You keep me clean
You’ve got, you’ve got a heart pure gold
I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got to be told
What is right and what is wrong
Without you I couldn’t write this song
I hate the 9 till 5
But for you I strive
To be a somebody
Whose worthy of thee
So now I bleed for you
Wear these scars for two
I’m willing to fight
I won’t be losing tonight
Because I’m coming home to you
A gift that always feels brand new
And even after all this time
A look from you and I know I’ll be fine
You keep me safe
