V5.5

Verse 1 I know you keep your dreams in a box, Tucked away where nobody goes, You learned to hide the tears in your eyes, Before anybody ever knows. You laugh when the room gets quiet, You leave before the goodbyes start, Like the safest place in the world Is a locked and lonely heart. Chorus But I don't need you to be fearless, I don't need you to pretend, I just want to know the person You don't show to anyone. You don't have to give me everything, You don't have to let down every guard, Just open one little window, And let me see your heart. Verse 2 I know somebody hurt you badly, Left a shadow where love used to be, And every time you reach for tomorrow, Yesterday pulls you back to me. But not every hand is reaching To take something away, Some people just want to hold you And help you find your way. Chorus 'Cause I don't need you to be fearless, I don't need you to pretend, I just want to know the person You don't show to anyone. You don't have to give me everything, You don't have to let down every guard, Just open one little window, And let me see your heart. Bridge Maybe love is always a little scary, Maybe trust takes time to grow, But the flowers never find the sunlight When they're afraid to show. Final Chorus So I’ll wait right here beside you, No promises you can't keep, No need to run from tomorrow, No need to hide from me. And if you ever find the courage To let the walls fall apart, I'll be right here listening For the song inside your heart.
