Song Description
Shelter is about the disbelief and relief felt after leaving a possessive person. It?s hard to comprehend from the outside what you let happen to yourself and to understand how you got yourself into that position in the first place. The song is also about the dark hole of an abusive relationship and how you can?t see the world in front of you when you are so wrapped up in what the other person wants.

Lyrics
I can?t believe I left you
I can?t see the morning light
I can?t believe I needed you
I can?t believe you?d stay
Here by my side
I?ll be with you
I can?t believe I needed you
To hold me in your arms tonight
In a while I will fade into you
You give me shelter and it?s all I can do
In a while I will fade into you
I can?t believe I wanted this
You won?t tell me it?s true
I didn?t know I needed you
I didn?t know you?d stay
Here by my side
I?ll be with you
I can?t believe I needed you
To hold me in your arms tonight
In a while I will fade into you
You give me shelter and it?s all I can do
In a while I will fade into you
You call me shelter
You call me home
Call me home
Call me home
