Lyrics

i remember that you felt/when you found me alone/i didn't know how lucky i was/to stand on my own/so many evenings spent trying to describe/how heavy you moved me inside/
i got you/to keep alive/
so we grew and i understood/just how deep it could reach/months went by and i comprehend/the hold that you've taken on me/
so when i saw you you understood/the darkness that builds its way under what i should/
