[Verse 1] We live in two different countries And I still call you mine You’re a prince in a far-off morning I’m a peasant, left behind But the Lord chose me for silver Even in these tired hands I was born to be your royal If you’d only understand [Pre-Chorus] I wish I could turn back time To the girl you’d keep in light I tried to wear your dream like satin But I could not make it right [Chorus] Don’t make me your secret Don’t hide me away I want to be loved Like I’m meant to stay I released you from me So you’d be free But if you loved me You would come for me (come for me) [Verse 2] You’ve got a house full of children And a name I’ll never know I know the part I couldn’t give you Is the one that made you go And it hurts me down in my bones now That my fault got in the way So I laid my heart down gently And I let you slip away [Pre-Chorus] If I mattered like I said You would not leave me here You’d sweep me off my feet And quiet all my fear [Chorus] Don’t make me your secret Don’t hide me away I want to be loved Like I’m meant to stay I released you from me So you’d be free But if you loved me You would come for me (come for me) [Bridge] Bring me on that plane Let the whole world see Show me like a promise Not a memory I don’t want a shadow Or a borrowed name I want your hand in public I want the fire, not the shame (over here) (over here) [Final Chorus] Don’t make me your secret Don’t hide me away I want to be loved Like I’m meant to stay My good years are gone now But my heart’s still young If the Lord sent you to me Then don’t leave me unsung Come and choose me Come and see If you loved me You would come for me (come for me)
