One Day At a Time

I just want you to know On firm ground you stand In a house made of rock That won’t wash away with the sand I questioned myself many times before What am I getting myself into Trying to fight what I was feeling But hoping you were feeling the same too I kept thinking you’re just a friend As long as I pretend not to care I won’t lose what we have But my heart I continued to bare You’ve breathed life into me I fought the emotions I felt I didn’t want you to ever know That my heart was starting to melt But know we are right there together The same doubts, questions and fears Know that I will hold you ever so close And never leave you in tears We’ve both been broken in pieces Wondering if all the king’s men Could really pick it all up And put us back together again There are parts of us that are exposed Light drifting into a once dark place Seeing the wall start to crumble And life’s scars start to erase I just can’t seem to get enough of you And so many questions run through my head Scared of the day you realize you don’t want this Scared of the day my heart pours crimson red I will keep your heart in a glass case Take extra care of what you’ve given me I will hold you ever so tenderly And with time this you will see What I feel is so surreal What I feel is nothing but sincere Let’s take a once in a lifetime chance And see where it all goes from here
