There's a reflection that's so hard to see |
|
Reflections in water of what you could be |
|
Wave crashes over, tides pull you under |
|
If you've ever wondered why you barely breathe |
|
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you |
|
All of the things that I want you to know by now |
|
All the ways I wish I could protect you |
|
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow |
|
As you grow older and you live through a war |
|
Before you know it, the eyes of a storm |
|
Will rain upon you, not like you never knew |
|
No, like you've never seen, like never before |
|
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you |
|
All of the things that I want you to know by now |
|
All the ways I wish I could protect you |
|
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow |
|
These ugly places, I don't want you to see |
|
These smiling faces, I don't want you to meet |
|
When your heart's extended out, don't try to tear it out |
|
You'll never be without the love that's between you and me |
|
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you |
|
All of the things that I want you to know by now |
|
All the ways I wish I could protect you |
|
From all the things that you learned on your own somehow |
|
Learned on your own, learned on your own somehow |
