safe

Lyrics

you could always see yourself in me, a brand new way to live vicariously, i wanted to show you the world through my eyes, but you had to let me go, just let me go so i could live my life, we used to look at the stars, and dream of the days we would find something more, somewhere along the way, the smile left your face and life set in, it changed everything, we used to look at the stars, and dream of the days we would find something more, somewhere along the way the smile left your face, as your eyes fell, the light that once shined slowly dimmed, i wandered from the path that you chose for me, i felt your hand slip away, as my eyes opened to see, all the beauty in the pleasure, and all the things that i had missed, in a moment i was caught up in the world, we used to look at the stars, and dream of the days we would find something more, somewhere along the way, the smile left your face as your eyes fell, it changed everything, you held me close in your arms, promised me you'd love me no matter what i would become, it's your grace i feel everywhere pushing me into the unknown that i fear, you played it safe so the ones you loved could have everything, you gave yourself when there was nothing left, even when the sky was falling down you covered me instead, you gave yourself when there was nothing left, you could always see yourself in me
