I used to think the world was something
I had to conquer on my own
I carried every weight in silence
Built a kingdom out of stone
Then you came and touched my shoulder
Like you knew the man beneath
And suddenly this broken heart
Had something worth protecting
My love, If I disappear into the darkness
Follow me
I’ll leave the light on where you are
Every scar upon my body
Every failure, every war Means nothing if I can’t come home
And find you waiting by the door
And those little eyes that watch me Make me want to become
more I’ll give them every piece of me
I’ll give them everything I’m for
I don’t need heaven
If heaven looks like this
Your hand inside of mine
Your name upon my lips I don’t need riches I don’t need
a throne Give me my family And I’ll never feel alone
YOU ARE EVERYTHING I NEED
THE AIR INSIDE MY LUNGS
THE REASON THAT I KEEP ON FIGHTING WHEN I THINK I’M DONE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD FALLS APART
LET IT FALL AROUND MY FEET
I’LL HOLD YOU THROUGH THE WRECKAGE YOU ARE EVERYTHING I NEED (everything
I need) My beautiful love,
I’d choose you in another lifetime
I’d choose you if I had no memory
I’d find you through the silence
I’d find you through eternity And my sons,
You don’t know what you’ve given me
You made a man out of my fear
Every time you call me “Daddy” I swear the whole world disappears
For you I’d walk through fire
For you I’d face the night
And if tomorrow takes everything I’ll still have you tonight
And when my hands are old
And my voice is barely there
When I can’t carry the weight anymore I’ll still reach for you
And when my children leave
To build a life of their own
I’ll smile through the tears Because I’ll know… I gave them all
my love.
YOU ARE EVERYTHING I NEED
THE AIR INSIDE MY LUNGS
THE REASON I BECAME A FATHER THE REASON I BECAME SOMEONE IF
THE WHOLE WORLD FALLS APART
I’LL BUILD IT BACK FOR YOU
WITH EVERY PIECE OF MY HEART WITH EVERYTHING I DO
MY LOVE, MY HOME,
MY FAMILY MY REASON TO BELIEVE
IF I HAVE YOU BESIDE ME I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED So
if the darkness comes… Stay beside me.
I’ll stay beside you.
Until there’s nothing left…
But us.
