Every Breath

It sounds like this is nothing new
And that it hasn't been for a while
You wake up on the other side
And you strain to force a smile

The fairytale inside your head
Has become your new best friend
But I can assure you
That I'll be there before the story ends

'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see

I'm racing to the finish line
Of a lifetime that's barely started
The peace of mind I left behind
I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden

You're waiting on a minute hand
In a countdown that lasts for days
But I'm here to tell you
It won't be long before I'm here to stay

'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see

The weightlessness and a lack of rest
Away from you, I'm in over my head

Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see

When I needed a place
To hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see

Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me
You'll be the only light I see
The only light I'll see
