Loved By You (Acoustic)

Love shines a light
It keeps us warm
It wins the fight
It hold us up
When heavy hands surround us
Love builds a flame
The kind that burns
And can’t be tamed
It brings us tears
Unveils our fears
About it all.
Cause the dice might roll and the house might beat you
But if we both stand tall maybe I’ll complete you
Cause there’s light out there
And I might be scared
But it’s all i wanna do
So I’ll love you
And I’ll be loved by you too
Love is carries pain
But they all say
“No pain no gain”
And when water walls
From mountains tall
It always lands
Cause the dice might roll and the house might beat you
But if we both stand tall maybe I’ll complete you
Cause there’s light out there
And I might be scared
But it’s all i wanna do
So I’ll love you
And I’ll be loved by you too
When we’re together
You know I always feel your heart beating
When we’re together
You know the world stops spinning
When you’re beside me
You know I feel ten stories tall
So I’ll love you
And I’ll be loved by you too
Cause the dice might roll and the house might beat you
But if we both stand tall maybe I’ll complete you
Cause there’s light out there
And I might be scared
But it’s all i wanna do
So I’ll love you
And I’ll be loved by you too

I wake and think of you
I want you here
I want to hold you
I know it’s only time
But time runs out
I’m tired of waiting
I will never let you down if you stick around
If you hold my hand I’ll hold your hand through it all
I will never let you walk on your own again
If you want me to I’ll be there for you
Cause you’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace…
I feel you in my soul
I love you now
I’ll love you always
The road we took is long
But I’ll be here
I’ll be waiting
I will never let you down if you stick around
If you hold my hand I’ll hold your hand through it all
I will never let you walk on your own again
If you want me to I’ll be there for you
Cause you’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
Cause you’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace
You’re my saving grace

Move with the water
Gotta set yourself free
I’m only being honest
I think you might need
To let yourself go
To let yourself go
Soar like a bird
With a baby to feed
I feel your hesitation
But I think you might need
To let yourself go
To let yourself go
And “I don’t wanna talk about it”
Is what you always say to me so
When we gonna talk about it
I know it’s what you need
Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little
Bored with he world
Cause you always get hurt
Drawn to the fire
But your bound to get burned
You need to let go
You’ve got to let go
Always “gonna try it”
But you never set sail
Take a deep breath
cause you might not fail
You need to let go
You’ve got to let go
And “I don’t wanna talk about it”
Is what you always say to me so
When we gonna talk about it
I know it’s what you need
Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little
I mean everything that I said
Don’t you even doubt it
Let yourself believe
I see everything you could be
Everything you should be
Let yourself believe
Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little
Little by little

Best Version (Acoustic)

Good morning my friend
How long has it been?
I hope you’re alright.
How old is your son?
How tall he’s become
I take it he’s fine, now
Well, I’m glad that you called
I’m glad I was in
We can talk for a while
How did it turn out
The guy you were with
Does he still make you smile?
I’ve been thinking a lot
about where we end up, all
The hope we hold on to
When things start to topple
The roads that we choose
While we try not to lose
our dignity
So I’ll say it again
with a smile and a grin
I’ll be louder than ever
It’s now, now or never
You take what your given
Make sure that your living
Your best version of life
How far did you go?
Did you make it to Spain?
Did you find your new life?
I saw that you did
A share or a like
You see stuff sometimes
You seam just the same
Except your last name
I like how it sounds
Well, take care of yourself
You know where I am
If you want to reach out
I’ve been thinking a lot
about where we end up, all
The hope we hold on to
When things start to topple
The roads that we choose
While we try not to lose
our dignity
So I’ll say it again
with a smile and a grin
I’ll be louder than ever
It’s now, now or never
You take what your given
Make sure that your living
Your best version of life
Your best version of life

Close your eyes my dear
The night time is falling
Let your mind reset
Your body keep growing
When the sun comes up
You can rise gently calling
But let your parents sleep
At least till the morning
Daniel
You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you
Treat your mother right
Your father adores her
Don’t grow up too quick
Your childhood’s important
Keep your promises
To those who afford them
Make your parents proud
And tell them you love them
Daniel
You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you
And all
Through the life we lead
We’ll make family
Out of friends
And you know
That for you and me
We’ll be family
Till the end
Daniel
You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you
