Give Me That Chance

Jul 04 2011

When I see you, all I see is the darkness
Ripped apart, sent to hell, you sacrificed yourself for a world that never knew
You never thought you’d come home, but here you are on my doorstep
Staring at me, and I’m looking back at you

So give me that chance to rediscover the person you are now
I’m strong enough to be the strength to lift you from a fall
Open your heart to let me back inside
Let me show you that I’ve never stopped loving you

You jerk awake, screaming out into the night.
The nightmares swirl with what was, what is, what could so easily have come true You never thought you’d escape but you’re safely in our bed
Holding on to me, and I’m clutching on to you

So give me that chance to rediscover the person you are now
I’m strong enough to be the strength to lift you from a fall
Open your heart to let me back inside
Let me show you that I’ve never stopped loving you

Sometimes you stop, and stare out in the distance.
You’re far away, some place I cannot follow, or see your point of view
I’ll never understand those memories but I’m by your side
With my hands outstretched towards you, asking you to…

Give me that chance to rediscover the person you are now.
Let me be your strength, let me be your peace, your friend, your all
Open your heart; I’ll keep it safe for you
Let me show you that I’ll never stop loving you.
