Save Your Tears

I've chased the sun

Needing that bit of life

To bring my heart back from the brink.

Then I see you

Knowing what you have tattooed 

Over your heart

Right where I rest my head each night.

You've always been my salvation 

But there have been so many temptations

So many things that threaten to pull me back 

Yet you still reach for me

Clinging to me

When I'm in your arms.

I've never had that strength

Anywhere else.

I crave it

Crave your strength

Giving me a safe place to rest my head

A safe place for my beat up heart

A safe place for my weary soul.

You tell me to save my tears

To rest in you

To let you hold me

To take solace in your arms

Then you prove that I can

As you show me your unflagging strength 

Show me the sincerity of your heart

Show me the depth of your love.
