I wanted you to be my hero
I saw the way we were as law
But the rules were always changing
I learned that trusting was a flaw
So I accepted consolations
Set my soul in compromise
Gave up to other’s expectations
And never looked inside my eyes
And I staked my life on the music
I put my heart top the pen
And tried not to dance to the same old tune
Again and again and again
And with all that we’ve been through
I do love you
There are bonds that can’t be broken
There’s the truth of who we are
We share a family heirloom
Your wound became my scar
And it toughens my defenses
But it’s not my destiny
For my life’s been marked by miracles
One of them is you and me
And I stake my life on the music
I put my heart top the pen
And try not to dance to the same old tune
Again and again and again
And because all that we’ve been through
I do love you
