You were an angel to me
A lifeline to breathe
A reminder that life at times can come with peace

Ill always hold a piece of you
In everything I do
Because in a strange way
What made me me, is what made you you
No one will experience you in the same way I do

For my eyes are made for only myself to see
The background to the life played out in front of me
But for a moment in time you too stood behind,
What can only be described as the walls I build around my life
The shutters that block out the light
The snooze button on lifes good times

You, and only you could lift those blinds
So thank you for being my light

I don’t ever want your part of me to die

And I didn’t want to say goodnight or goodbye
Id stay awake every moment you laid in my arms,
Praying to God to let me pause time
I would have died in that moment if it meant I loved you right

But now I know
For love to grow
Time must go on
We must grow old
So even if I cant love you right
Or hold you close, or squeeze you tight
Ill love you the only way I know

From behind my walls
From behind my eyes
