The Words

You are the only imperfection
that I'm too proud of to hide.
You found me,
with my heart split wide open,
where parts of me started turning black
as the erratic beating began to slow down.
You sneaked your way into my veins 
until you became the blood flowing through it,
rushing towards my wounds,
binding them with your healing touch
and soothing words. 
You are like a calming balm against my fears.
You are the scar,
the reason that kept me alive,
the only imperfection 
I'm too proud of to hide.

All of the lights land on you

The rest of the world fades from view

And all of the love I see

Please please say you feel it too

And all of the noise I hear inside

Restless and loud, unspoken and wild

And all that you need to say

To make it all go away

Is that you feel the same way too

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control

I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

And all of the steps that led me to you

And all of the hell I had to walk through

But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say

My love, I’m in love with you

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control

I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

I know that we’re both afraid

We both made the same mistakes

An open heart is an open wound to you

And in the wind of a heavy choice

Love has a quiet voice

Still your mind, now I’m yours to choose

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

Let my love be the light that guides you home

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control

I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

*** There are good songs and there are amazing songs. Yet there are also songs that are undescribable. That somehow you cannot explain what you were feeling after hearing it. This song is one of them. It literally brought up too much emotions out on the surface and I cannot explain why. I guess the music  video helped too? I have to admit, I'm an admirer of Mr. Hook right there. ;)
