about

Written by Samuel Barker (ASCAP)

lyrics

I catch myself looking in your eyes
Wanting to say all I feel
Hoping we might find some peace
In the things we can't heal

And I hope I don't let you down
In the ways I let down myself
Sometimes it's just too damn hard
To admit you need some help

I'm trying to be everything you need
But I never learned to be fake
So I stand before you, dear
Cracked, flawed and fray
Hoping my love is something you might take
Hoping my love...is something I might take

I get lost in your smile
Like a little boy out in the world
We men like to act so strong
But I'd be lost without you, girl

They say there's art in lonely
I'm quite sure they're right
I'd kill that muse, my dear
To be in your arms tonight

I'm trying to be everything you need
But I never learned to be fake
So I stand before you, dear
Cracked, flawed and fray
Hoping my love is something you might take
Hoping my love...is something I might take

I catch myself looking in your eyes
Wanting to say all I feel
Hoping we might find some peace
In the things we can't heal
