[Intro – Instrumental] [Verse 1 – Male Ra [Male Vocal] Do you ever wonder, C, what you really mean to me? How you reach a part of me no one else could ever see? [Male Vocal] Do you remember how you smiled and everything felt new? I've known a thousand different feelings, but never one like you. [Male Vocal] Do you ever think it's strange how a man who knows his way, who can face a hundred battles, still runs out of words to say? [Male Vocal] But when you put your hand in mine, the world just falls away. And all the things I thought I needed don't matter much that day. [Pre-Chorus 1 – Male Singing] [Male Vocal] I know I'm not the easiest man Some days I lose myself in grey You say I don't have to be perfect And you love me anyway [Chorus 1 – Female Singing] [Female Vocal] You don't have to be my hero, you don't have to save the day. I never asked you to be perfect, or to take my fears away. [Female Vocal] But I've seen the man behind the armour, I've seen the tenderness you hide. And you're already my hero, just by standing at my side. [Verse 2 – Male Aggressive Rap] [Male Vocal] Do you ever see the difference between the man I am out there and the one who lies awake at night just wishing you were here? [Male Vocal] Do you know how much it scares me, what I'd be willing to do just to make this world a little smaller and find my way back home to you? [Male Vocal] Do you ever wonder what would happen if I stopped counting what it costs? If I followed what my heart keeps telling me, no matter what might be lost? [Male Vocal] And when you say you love me, C, I believe you, every word. I just wish that I could give you more than everything you've heard. [Pre-Chorus 2 – Male Singing] [Male Vocal] I can carry all the pressure, I can face another fight. But I can't hold you through a telephone when you need me there at night. [Chorus 2 – Female Singing] [Female Vocal] You don't have to be my hero, you don't have to save the day. I never asked you to be perfect, or to take my fears away. [Female Vocal] I've seen the man behind the armour, I've seen the tenderness you hide. I don't need another hero, I just want you by my side. [Bridge – Female Singing] [Female Vocal] Do you know how many times I've had to start again? How many dreams I've buried and still believed in them? [Female Vocal] I've learned to smile through heartache, to find the light somehow. But part of me is frightened of how much I love you now. [Female Vocal] I'm not afraid of changing, or leaving things behind. I'm afraid of giving you my heart and losing it this time. [Female Vocal] After everything I've been through, there's one thing I know is true: I'm still brave enough to love. And Dave... I choose you. [Pre-Chorus 3 – Male Singing] [Male Vocal] If your hands begin to tremble, you don't have to hide from me. You've spent a lifetime being strong; let me be where you can breathe. [Chorus 3 – Male Singing, Not Rap] [Male Vocal] You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to hide your scars. I don't love you for the battles, I love the woman that you are. [Male Vocal] I know you've walked through fire, still you let somebody in. Of all the things I've seen you conquer, it's your courage to love again. [Male Vocal] You don't have to be fearless, you don't have to stand alone. If you'll let me walk beside you, I'll spend my life making this our home. [Instrumental Build] [Pre-Chorus 4 – Alternating Vocals] [Male Vocal] I've spent my life believing there's a way through every wall. [Female Vocal] I've spent my life rebuilding every time I've had to fall. [Male Vocal] Maybe we don't know the answers... [Female Vocal] Maybe we don't need them all... [Male and Female Duet] But if we keep on choosing love, we can face whatever comes. [Final Chorus – Male and Female Duet] [Male and Female Duet] We don't have to be perfect, we don't have to know it all. We can stand against the distance, we can rise each time we fall. [Male and Female Duet] Let the oceans lie between us, let the mountains touch the sky. There's no world too big to cross, no love too strong to try. [Male and Female Duet] And if the road goes on forever, if the stars refuse to shine, we'll keep making this world smaller, one heartbeat at a time. [Final Refrain – Male and Female Duet] [Male and Female Duet] We don't have to be perfect, we don't have to know it all. Through the scars and through the silence, we'll be there each time we fall. [Male and Female Duet] And whatever lies before us, whatever we go through, I will always choose this love. I will always choose you. [Outro – Male and Female Duet] [Male and Female Duet] One heartbeat at a time...
