Darlin' you crept into my life Like a thief in the night You lit a fire deep deep down inside And you made me feel so alive You've got a way about you babe A tenderness that you wield That disarms this man Dissolves these walls And makes me feel safe to be Authentically me Your love makes me feel safe to be Authentically me Your love makes me feel safe to be Authentically me Your love makes me feel safe to be Authentically me Your love makes me feel safe to be Authentically me Get ready for part two of why I love you I know there's much much more to you But I can see right through To the purest part of you Something in your eyes captured me And like a feather in a storm I was helpless to your charm And we've only just begun to excavate The battle scars that might Have shaped our lens on life We both are so afraid If we go all in we'll smudge the flame Well there's somethin' I gotta say baby Deep down this scared little boy Is afraid to be seen But you made me feel safe to be Authentically me Safe to be me With you here now in my life So much has been revealed And my heart's begun to heal I found the courage to confront myself For once to truly own All the wreckage I had sewn And we've all done selfish Regrettable things But we're made to make mistakes And grow and learn You taught me how to forgive Myself for all the Thoughtless things I did Deep down this scared little boy Is afraid to be seen But you made me feel safe to be Authentically me Safe to be me Who knew that forgiveness was the key It was the path to loving me Finally learning what it means To love and accept myself
