Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yesterday, you came to lift me up

As light as straw and brittle as a bird

Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall

Just one more whisper, of a voice unheard

[Verse 2]

Tomorrow, leave the windows open

As fear grows, please hold me in your arms

Won't help me, if you can, to shake this anger?

I need your gentle hands to keep me calm

[Verse 3]

'Cause I never thought I'd lose

I only thought I'd win

I never dreamed I'd feel

This fire beneath my skin

[Verse 4]

I can't believe you love me

I never thought you'd come

I guess I misjudged love

Between a father and his son

[Verse 5]

Things we never said come together

The hidden truth no longer haunting me

Tonight we touched on things that were never spoken

That kind of understanding sets me free

[Verse 6]

'Cause I never thought I'd lose

I only thought I'd win

I never dreamed I'd feel

This fire beneath my skin

[Verse 7]

I can't believe you love me

I never thought you'd come

I guess I misjudged love

Between a father and his son
