Steady Hands

I drew a circle,

thought we'd stand inside it endlessly

I really thought our love would last for all eternity

But I let the worst of me get the best of me,

it’s true

And my love, Thomas,

the last thing I wanted was to hurt you

We both came from the shadows,

carrying a heavy load But I let my own demons run us

right off the road I never meant to be another tear upon

your face I just want to bring us back into a sacred

space I’d do everything in my power to be a better man

for you

To walk through the fire and to prove my heart is true

I’m tearing down the walls,

I’m leaving my ghosts behind

Fighting for the eternity I'm desperate to find

Maybe one day we can be what we were before But even

better than my old self,

baby—and so much more I know you walked through hell before I

ever came along

I want to rewrite the ending to your saddest song

I’ll take away the pain from the other guys who hurt you

deeply I’ll guard your fragile spirit,

and I will not treat it cheaply

I never wanted to add to the scars upon your chest

I just want a second chance to finally give you my best

Our dark pasts tried to break us,

burned harder than we thought But I'm willing to untangle every single

twisted knot I thought eternity was something that we simply had

Until I lost my footing and the good turned into bad

But forever isn't gone,

it just needs a steady hand

And I'm putting in the work to be that steady man

Thomas, look into my eyes and let me make it right

I want to be the one who leads you safely through the

night

'Cause I’d do everything in my power to be a better man

for you

To walk through the fire and to prove my heart is true

I’m tearing down the walls,

I’m leaving my ghosts behind

Fighting for the eternity I'm desperate to find

Maybe one day we can be what we were before But even

better than my old self,

baby—and so much more

I thought our love would

last for eternity.

Give me the time to prove that it still can.

I'll take away the pain.

Even better than my old self,

baby.

Just for you, Thomas.

I'm gonna be a better man.
