lyrics

It took awhile but now I'm screaming your name to go out in style.
Walking the wire, you are my one, you are my fire.
Go out in flames, go out in flames, don't let them tell you we're just the same.
You're so true & it's only you,
so no matter what they do don't ever forget, don't ever regret me & you.
I'd run for miles, just to impress you & make you smile.
I write you songs, hoping one day you'll sing along.
Just be my boy, don't ask me why I never want to leave your side.
I am so true only for you, so no matter what I do don't ever forget, don't ever regret me & you.
To me you are the sun, each embrace warmer than the one before.
You could be the one I spent my whole life waiting for,
but I can't find the words or the courage to hold you near.
And I can't say the things you've been aching to hear.
But we'd be perfect, we'd be perfect.
Maybe one day you'll fix these broken wings.
Maybe one day I'll learn that life is more than the pain it brings.
Maybe one day, you'll see me through love's eyes.
And you'll never forget cause now you are mine.
You are mine.
To me you are the sun, each embrace warmer than the one before.
You are the one I spent my whole life waiting for.
Now I have found the words, & all the courage to hold you near.
I can say the things you've been aching to hear.
And we'll be perfect, we'll be perfect...cause you are mine.
You are mine.
