There is strength in your tears
And so toi fight to keep from pouring out
But what if toi unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
Do toi think there's enough to that toi might drown?
[Chorus]
If no one will listen
If toi decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what toi really are
I will be here still
No one can tell toi where toi alone must go
There's no telling what toi will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, "Just stay here"
[Chorus]
If toi find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have donné out under the weight
If toi find that you've been settling for a world of gray
So toi wouldn't have to face down your own hate
[Chorus x2]
I know that toi need it
I know that toi don't need me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
toi tried to stay, but toi could not stand it
To see toi shut down so slow
As though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us will fall over
I'll tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left toi heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you?
It's so hard to believe it
Even as our eyes do see it
The very things that made toi live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, yeah
We will shelter you
I will shelter you, oh
We will pray with you
We will pray with you, shelter you
We will shelter you
We'll shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us is fallin' down
We're gonna shelter you
I know that toi don't need me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
toi tried to stay, but toi could not stand it
To see toi shut down so slow
As though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us will fall over
I'll tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
I left toi heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you?
It's so hard to believe it
Even as our eyes do see it
The very things that made toi live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us is fallin' over
I tell toi what we're gonna do, yeah
toi will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, yeah
We will shelter you
I will shelter you, oh
We will pray with you
We will pray with you, shelter you
We will shelter you
We'll shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us is fallin' down
We're gonna shelter you

Let me stand there now,
toi didn't even care, toi just walked away,
I felt so scared.
toi never even looked back at me,
So, unaware of how cruel toi could be,
I resolved it there did toi ever care.
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
toi didn't have to fall,
I didn't need your tears,
I didn't want your pity,
just any feelling at all,
wouldn't have been sufficient.
I never felt so small, so insignificant,
toi left me naked with nothing at all,
how could I be so blind?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
Falling down, darkness surrounds me,
I open my eyes on par my head and cry.
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
toi didn't even care, toi just walked away,
I felt so scared.
toi never even looked back at me,
So, unaware of how cruel toi could be,
I resolved it there did toi ever care.
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
toi didn't have to fall,
I didn't need your tears,
I didn't want your pity,
just any feelling at all,
wouldn't have been sufficient.
I never felt so small, so insignificant,
toi left me naked with nothing at all,
how could I be so blind?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
Falling down, darkness surrounds me,
I open my eyes on par my head and cry.
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever believe in me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Did you, did you, did you?
Did toi ever care for me?
Did toi ever l’amour me?
Far, away from it all
toi and me with no one else around
A brand new start
Is all we need, it's all we need to mend these hearts
Back to the beginning
Be still
Let it go
Before we Lost hope
When we still touched and l’amour wasn't so hard
Be still
I already know
Foolish one with the smile
toi don't have to be brave
Every time we fall down
But we're falling from grace
I'll gladly climb your walls if you'll meet me halfway
Slow, slow it down
Why do we run, we're missing so much babe
Just lay in my arms for a while
Be still
We should've known
Foolish one with the smile
toi don't have to be brave
I'll gladly climb your walls
If you'll meet me halfway
Every time we fall down
But we're falling from grace
Here's my hand and my heart
It's yours to take
Be still
toi and me with no one else around
A brand new start
Is all we need, it's all we need to mend these hearts
Back to the beginning
Be still
Let it go
Before we Lost hope
When we still touched and l’amour wasn't so hard
Be still
I already know
Foolish one with the smile
toi don't have to be brave
Every time we fall down
But we're falling from grace
I'll gladly climb your walls if you'll meet me halfway
Slow, slow it down
Why do we run, we're missing so much babe
Just lay in my arms for a while
Be still
We should've known
Foolish one with the smile
toi don't have to be brave
I'll gladly climb your walls
If you'll meet me halfway
Every time we fall down
But we're falling from grace
Here's my hand and my heart
It's yours to take
Be still
