In this ocean of air
I feel like I followed the tides
Up until a wave took away
All the things that I liked
Turned them into nightmares where
Nothing was good
Nothing was safe or secure
I thank who's in charge
That there was such a person
To show me what was good again

You are the end of the things that I fear
You are the one that brings hope
As you're drying my tears
Saying: "I won't give up on this"
Fool of my thoughts
You are a friend to my soul
And in borrowing nothing there's
So much I owe you

My life was like a liquid and
Though I was sick of it
Changes can be madе
And love will really save your lifе

I wanted halos every afternoon, you
Gave me all those reasons to stay
Showed me love is more
Than some cheap Hollywood masquerade
Sometimes a life is saved
When someone just says your name
So that it sounds like they care
Or says: "I can be there"

You were all there was
The bastion and the rampart
My shield, my arm, my wall
Against what tried to harm me

You were all there was
On those nights when something
Came and took my thoughts
And told me I was nothing

I was mud along the river line
Tattered coat upon a spine
Broken boy with exit signs
You still loved me

Battered, boring, dull, and lame
Lacking body, loss of brain
All my worth had washed away
You still loved me

Empty words on shattered jars
Futures burned and torn apart
What was yours was all of ours
You still loved me
Pulled me from a darkened well
Piece by piece and pail by pail
Touched my face and held my hand

'Cause you still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me

You still loved me
