The Richest Man

[Intro] [Verse 1] I can't make you understand That when you come into a room My heart beats louder and faster than ever Practically bringing my silent, still heart to life I can't make you understand That seeing your face lights up a world A world I have always seen only in the dark Suddenly stepping out of the night [Chorus] When I am with you, everything around me becomes silent And nothing matters but the memories we create And the struggles we face together, through the quiet and the violent I can't make you understand, no matter the wait That if we were poor and had nothing, nothing but each other I would still be the richest man alive. [Post-Chorus] (Let's change "can't" into "can") (I'm reaching out, take my hand) [Verse 2] I can't make you understand That when you laugh it is my favorite thing to hear A sound that washes away all my fear 'Cause I know I am making you smile from ear to ear I can't make you understand That maybe we were made for each other 'Cause the pull that binds us is a heavy tether it makes it unbearable to be away from you for more than a second. [Chorus] When I am with you, everything around me becomes silent And nothing matters but the memories we create And the struggles we face together, through the quiet and the violent I can't make you understand, no matter the wait That if we were poor and had nothing, nothing but each other I would still be the richest man alive. [Post-Chorus] (Let's change "can't" into "can") (I'm reaching out, take my hand) [Heartfelt Guitar Solo Instrumental] [Bridge] It's a heavy weight, keeping this locked inside A truth so deep that I can no longer hide I've spent all this time saying what I CAN'T do, But everything changes when I'm looking at you [Final Chorus] When I am with you, everything around me becomes silent And nothing matters but the memories we create And the struggles we face together, through the quiet and the violent I can't make you understand, no matter the wait That if we were poor and had nothing, nothing but each other I would still be the richest man alive. [Outro] So maybe... Maybe we could change "can't" into "can" Step out of the dark and take my hand Let's change "can't" into "can" And I could show you it all. I could show you it all. Let me show you it all.
