lyrics

I sat down, and I tried to write
To put pen to paper night after night
To paint a picture of you
Of a heart so true
Of eyes that paralyze my pen and mind

When I lie my head down to die
I will leave behind
A lifetime of my songs trying to capture your light
Somehow I think I'll come up shy
But I don't mind trying

You are teaching me
To let go of fear
To bask in whimsical light and leave behind
All that I have clung to
A sad and desperate tune
To open up my mind and see the beauty

You are breaking down my defenses
You're tearing down fences
I've built in my heart, my mind, my life
Oh your patience, it is so steady and sweet
When I don't give you the things that you need
But I am trying, though I fail, to be the man that you need
