Shelter in Your Storm

I see the shadows that you’re carrying inside

The pieces of your heart you’ve had to hide You’re looking at

the exit, terrified to stay

Afraid that history is gonna repeat the pain today

But Thomas, take a breath,

look in my eyes There’s no more room for games or thin

disguises I’m not a stranger

standing at your door

I’m the one who’s here to even out the score.

I want to be the hands

that help you heal the hurt To be the solid ground beneath

the shifting dirt

I’ll walk the jagged edges of your past And build a shelter

that is strong enough to last Don’t be afraid to love,

don’t turn away I’m in this for the long haul,

come what may You’re my best friend,

the lover that I need I’ll do whatever it takes to help

you be freed. I know the walls you built were meant to

keep you safe

But they’ve become a prison

in this hollow space

You’re holding onto armor that you don’t need anymore I’m here to

help you drop it,

let it hit the floor It’s not about perfection,

it’s not about the flash It’s staying in the wreckage when the

world starts to crash I’m proving it in silence,

in the coffee in the light In holding you together in the

middle of the night.

If you’re scared to trust,

I’ll wait for you to find it

If you’re scared to open up,

I’ll stay right behind

it

Every scar you’ve got is part of who you are

I’ll love

you in the dark,

I’ll love you past the star There is no "too much," there

is no "too deep" I’ve got every promise that I intend to

keep. I want to be the hands

that help you heal the hurt To be the solid ground beneath

the shifting dirt

I’ll walk the jagged edges of your past And build a shelter

that is strong enough to last Don’t be afraid to love,

don’t turn away I’m in this for the long haul,

come what may You’re my best friend,

the lover that I need I’ll do whatever it takes to help

you be freed.

So lean on me,

Thomas, let the armor fall

I’m right here beside you,

through it all

My best friend, my lover,

the only one I see

I’m here to prove you’re everything

to me

Yeah, I’m here to prove you’re everything

to me.
