lyrics

Engrained in my soul like a knot in a tree
You don't know the half of what your love does to me
Burning like the sun, bound to explode
Nothing ever stays the same people just get old

But love can have me
Love can win
I just want to give in
Willing as a mule, clear as a fog
Nothing ever comes easy no, nothing at all

Surrender I say, perspectives can change
The world needn't be so bleak and gray
Walk along with me, tell me what you feel
Staying home and screaming is no way to heal

Yes love can have me
Love can win
I just want to give in
Heartbreaking hero fighting for peace
Isolation doesn't work it tears at your seams

Oh my patience, oh my strength
Never thought I'd see those slip away
But sorrow has brought so much clarity
My only wish is that he knows I'm still on his team

But love can have me
Love can win
I can't help but give in

Hopelessly optimistic, cursed with a pretty vision
If it kills me, if it kills me
