Do you know the way you cry?
Like beauty in a stormy sky
and I'm trying to figure out
the blueprint
to your safest place
so I'd build your hideaway

but maybe in the morning light
it'll seem like nothing more
than memories of night
and maybe
it takes its toll
cuz I can't stand this world
anymore
if this air turns cold
for you
I'll break tonight
in fifty little pieces
and I'll keep them in my pocket
till the day
when I'm confident
my warmth can numb your pain
if this color still remains
just promise me
you'll never feel this lost
again
I'll promise you
I'll always be this true
for you
the most I can give
is a box
full of words
wrapped in colors of a song
it won't do much
to turn your tears
to battle cries
but know
that it won't be long
cuz baby in the morning light
it'll seem like nothing more
than memories of night
and baby
it takes its toll
cuz I won't stand to watch
anymore
if this air feels cold
for you
I'll break tonight
in fifty little pieces
and I'll keep them in my pocket
till the day
when I'm confident
my warmth can numb your pain
if this color still remains
just promise me
you'll never feel this lost
again
I'll promise you
I'll always be this true
for you

I'm here for you
