For Dean

breathe, love
i know it cuts you deep, love.
i can tell it hurts you so
and i won't pretend to know.

But i see strength, dear,
in all those stifled tears, dear.
all the things you keep inside
there's no reason here to hide.

when your faith runs low
and as for hope, there's none to show...
could i be the silver lining that you seek
i'll be the calm after the storm
don't hold back on me,
lay it on me & you'll see...
i can be good to you if you let me
.
You drink yourself numb,
for an hour you feel human again.
and the doubts they all subside
and you finally find some quiet.
all those scars, love,
they make you who you are, love.
all the baggage that you claim
you can leave from where you came.


when your faith runs low

i'll be the calm after the storm
don't hold back on me,
lay it on me & you'll see...
i can be good to you if you let me

It's over my head,
the hell that you have been through
and it's out of my hands,
I can't save you from it now.
If you ever come around....

could i be the silver lining that you seek,
I'll be the calm after the storm.
don't hold back on me,
lay it on me and you'll see,
i can be good to you if you let me.
