Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground Unbridled energy, all possibility You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone Slowly and gingerly Reaching with toes It's hard, the way you look at me With a rage I cannot place But I'm not the enemy I'll carry you through your pain You can hide away, hold your heart at bay I know you wanna be loved Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart I will be like gravity, always true Ooh, I won't give up on you For every two steps that go forward, there's one that crawls back These are the highs and lows Those who have been here know But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire Insult to injury and we breathe fire It's hard, the way you look at me With a rage I cannot place But I'm not the enemy I'll carry you through your pain You can hide away, hold your heart at bay I know you wanna be loved Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart I will be like gravity, always true Mmm, I won't give up Our love's not a race only one of us wins I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in I look back now, past the anger and fear You were suffering and you were all alone in it So you can hide away, hold your heart at bay I know you wanna be loved Though life will come apart and break and unbreak your heart I will be like gravity, always true Ooh, I won't give up on you Ooh, I'll never give up on you
