lyrics

My bones are broken, but still the same.
The same old calcium rearranged.
Ten short years, tell me what has changed,
to make you forgive all that pain.
Did you not realize your ocean bed?
You were breathing in that water,
drowning over your head.
I heard you from below, the padding of your soles.
You did not know where I was and your blood had run cold.
Step outside and give a voice
to the love you have,
Baby it's your choice.
You complain of the darkness,
but you must know,
If you want to see a spark,
Give yourself a chance to grow.
Please, see this as a way I express
I do truly love you.
I yearn for your happiness.

I know what they did, how they made it grow.
They gave you something you'd never let go.
Now I suggest that you hold on tight,
for the rest of your life,
You'll be living the rest of your life.
You'll never know all the tears I've cried.
How I've tried and tried, tried and tried,
To fit in with you.
I'm not through.
I will never give up on you.
Even if you start to change,
your new face will be a welcome strange.
Please, see this as a way I express,
I do truly love you,
I yearn for your happiness.
