You watched her from a distance most days
Never knowing how she'd feel
Locked inside to you it felt so real
Then she smiled and spoke of heartbreak
Showing the truth behind her eyes
You led her to place she knew
She no longer had to hide
She said
Half of my life I took the damage
The other half I learned to feel
All of my life I waited for you
I need love to help me heal
Her fragile heart says give it time now
Safe and loved takes time to know
You tell her you are here and wont let go
Then she smiled and spoke of good things
Letting you in and kept you near
Hold in her your arms and tell her
This is a life you'll never fear
She said
Half of my life I took the damage
The other half I learned to feel
All of my life I waited for you
I need love to help me heal
Give and take
Knowing what she knows
Moving through what came before
Only time and patience tells her
Now she knows she needs it more
She said
Half of my life I let the time go
The other half I found a way
All of my life I waited for you
I can heal because you stayed
