(Chorus)
And she don't understand how much I love her
She don't see the wars I'd fight to win her cover
She says, "Be who you are," it's so plain to see
But the man I want to be is the man you need
My only reason for being is your name on my soul
Without your love, I'll never feel whole.

(Verse 2)
I trace the lines of every mistake I made
Building a new man in the light you gave
You say it's not the shape I'm supposed to take
But this is the mold I'm willing to break
For you. I'd shatter every old design
If it meant that your hand would stay in mine
This isn't a mask, it's a sacred vow
I'm becoming who I am right here and right now.

(Chorus)
'Cause she don't understand how much I love her
She don't see the wars I'd fight to win her cover
She says, "Be who you are," it's so plain to see
But the man I want to be is the man you need
My only reason for being is your name on my soul
Without your love, I'll never feel whole.

(Bridge)
They say don't put a person on a throne
But you're not just a person, you're my home
You're the sunrise and the moon above
And what do you do with a goddess but worship and love?
I worship you, 'cause you are
Every single wish on every single star.
Nothing else matters, nothing at all
I'm waiting for the day you break my fall.

(Final Chorus)
Oh, you don't understand how much I love you!
No, you don't see the wars I'd fight to see me through!
You say, "Be who you are," but God, can't you see?
The man I am is the man you made me to be!
My only reason for being is your name on my soul!
You are my heaven, and my only goal!

(Outro)
She don't understand...
(Whispered) But she's a goddess...
And I'm just a man on his knees.
(Final, soft guitar chord fades out)

(Verse 1) The words you said just hang in the air Like faded pictures, a forgotten prayer You say, "Just be yourself, that's all I need" But you're not hearing my heart's desperate plea I'd walk through fire, I'd move the sea If it meant your smile would come back to me Every breath I take is just a step in your direction A hopeless, fragile, one-sided connection. (Chorus) And she don't understand how much I love her She don't see the wars I'd fight to win her cover She says, "Be who you are," it's so plain to see But the man I want to be is the man you need My only reason for being is your name on my soul Without your love, I'll never feel whole. (Verse 2) I trace the lines of every mistake I made Building a new man in the light you gave You say it's not the shape I'm supposed to take But this is the mold I'm willing to break For you. I'd shatter every old design If it meant that your hand would stay in mine This isn't a mask, it's a sacred vow I'm becoming who I am right here and right now. (Chorus) 'Cause she don't understand how much I love her She don't see the wars I'd fight to win her cover She says, "Be who you are," it's so plain to see But the man I want to be is the man you need My only reason for being is your name on my soul Without your love, I'll never feel whole.
