lyrics

All I thought I wanted was
A quiet place in the shade
Where no one’s near the streams of tears
That are falling down on my face
Now I’m headed for brighter days
It’ll be ok

If life is like an ocean
I was in an undertow of pain
Then we locked eyes
And I realized
I was just standing inside the rain
Oh it’s such a shame
What we do to do ourselves
But we both know you can learn so much
From living in hell

So lover kiss me softly now
I’m trying to lift the curse
And I’ve broke no mirrors
But I still have fears
Ain’t good luck just the worst?
Cause I wish I could pretend
That it doesn’t always end

And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid
And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid
And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid

I’ve been walking down a road
Of other men’s desires
Then something changed
When I heard your name
And it lit my heart on fire
Precious things make such beautiful flames
But it all will turn to ash anyways
And then we’ll call it dirt
When it gets in the wrong place

I cannot sleep tonight my love
My brain is like a storm
The fridges howl and electric choir
That almost keeps me warm
While the seems in my mind are completely torn
And the images of death
Are being born
But it’s just another thing to hold on to
In the night
Well I’m an animal
So it’s fear that keeps me alive

And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid
And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid
And I’ll love you
Even when I’m afraid
