Thoughts of a Wife

I don't have all the words to say
Still healing from my mistakes
I'll take the weight 
If it makes you feel stronger
I don't want to leave you in this place
Who am I
To try to save you
I ain't gonna hide
You have to fight to change
Into the fire
Standing beside you
I won't let you down
We're alone
Let down your guard
Even when you feel hard to love
I'll go before you
I'll be a light for you
We're gonna rise up
Out of the dark
If you can find a reason
If you start believing
I won't let you down
