I see your pain
and it is beautiful
it's in the things you do
everything you say
the lines on your face
the things you know time just can't erase
I love those lines

It's the way you watch me when I dance
everything you risk you take
making me another chance
the distance that you keep
how you look when you're asleep
and dreaming
and even if your mind is screaming
I can hear you
I can see you
And your sorrow it touches me

Your tears they try to hide
somewhere very deep inside
but every now and then one comes out just show me ...
even if your broken
my love to you it is unspoken

I will be the love that liberates you
to fly away
regardless...of my darling ... whatever
you try to say
I'm not begging you ...to let me stay
I'm just telling you that you're mine and I'm yours forever
always
and truly.
