It's so hard,
Just to make to make it through the day,
To drive the pain away,
To stand up, to remain

You say,
That you just want to understand
And I say,
I don't know if you can

And you...
Stare in my eyes so deep
And you say...
You say "Try me"

Would you believe,
Someone could hurt like me,
Fight to stay off their knees,
Is often reduced to tears in the night?
Please don't be deceived,
I ask for no reprieve,
I just want to be relieved,
Of some of the burdens in my life

I try to lock away,
How I feel each day,
Because I hate the pain,
That I see in your eyes

You say,
You want to take the pain away
And I say,
It would drive you insane

And you...
Stare in my eyes so deep
And you say...
You say "Try me...!"

Would you believe,
Someone could hurt like me,
Fight to stay off their knees,
Is often reduced to tears in the night?
Please don't be deceived,
I ask for no reprieve,
I just want to be relieved,
Of some of the burdens in my life

Each and every day,
I see you look my way
And I feel younger,
I feel a passion,
I feel a hunger,
It's ever-lasting,
You make me stronger...!

Would you believe,
Someone could hurt like me,
Fight to stay off their knees,
Is often reduced to tears in the night?
Please don't be deceived,
I ask for no reprieve,
I just want to be relieved,
Of some of the burdens in my life
And in...
Your eyes I can see...
I know...
I know you believe...
Because that someone is me!
I know you would believe!
Someone could hurt like me,
Fight to stay off their knees,
Is often reduced to tears in the night...!
Please don't be deceived!
I ask for no reprieve,
I just want to be relieved,
Of some of the burdens in my life...

At first glance, this would not appear to be a romantic song. And it's not, in the classical sense.

And yet it is. :)

It is an homage to the one who stood by me when the rest of the world ignored, the one who has stood with me every single day through all of this, the one who has loved me no matter how I have changed, no matter how LIFE has changed.

She has given me everything, and always tried to understand.

The line "I just want to be relieved/ Of the burdens of my life" is directly aimed at her, because I once said that to her.

And she made it happen.

This really IS a love song. :)

Comments welcome, enjoy. :heart:
