Sheltered From The Storm

[Verse 1] I long to make your world complete To make you happy, safe and warm I keep your name right next to mine Like it can hold back any storm I watch the night crawl up your door I count the cracks inside the glass I’d build a roof out of my hands If that would make the hard part pass [Pre-Chorus] And though it’s not an easy feat I still come running every time I stitch the quiet into gold I try to leave you safe tonight [Chorus] You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I break, then I come back I want your heart all warm You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I give you all I’ve got Then you pull the storm back in [Verse 2] Your shoes by the front door again Your jacket tossed across the chair The room goes still when you walk in Like even hurt is waiting there I learn the shape of all your moods The way your silence cuts the air I take the hit, I take the fall Just so your world won’t fall apart [Pre-Chorus] And though it’s not an easy feat I still come running every time I stitch the quiet into gold I try to leave you safe tonight [Chorus] You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I break, then I come back I want your heart all warm You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I give you all I’ve got Then you pull the storm back in [Bridge] If I let go, would you stay? If I stay, do I disappear? I’ve been strong in the dark so long I forgot to say I’m scared [Final Chorus] You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I break, then I come back I want your heart all warm You can’t keep doing this to me You can’t keep doing this to me I love you like a shelter But I’m aching in the rain
